> Hi!
> Please bear in mind that this is my first issue being reported here but I thought it to be worth it.
> So, we've been developing a Cordova application lately and we decided to add a notification center plugin to be able to launch the application from it, taking advantage of the url-scheme on iOS.
> We discovered that it worked flawlessly when it was launched and the app was in background but it wasn't when the app was closed and tried to launch from there.
> So I dug deeper.
> Since this is an Ionic application, I thought the issue was due to Angular not being ready at the appropriate time or something like that so I just put something really low-level which didn't depend on any library:
> {code:javascript}
> window.foo = 'bar';
> {code}
> And then checked with a timeout (after app was ready) to see if it was there. But it wasn't. 
> So I dug deeper.
> So the issue seems to come on this function which is on the {{CDDViewController}} class
> {code}
> - (void)processOpenUrl:(NSURL*)url pageLoaded:(BOOL)pageLoaded
> {
>     if (!pageLoaded) {
>         // query the webview for readystate
>         NSString* readyState = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.readyState"];
>         pageLoaded = [readyState isEqualToString:@"loaded"] || [readyState isEqualToString:@"complete"];
>     }
>     if (pageLoaded) {
>         // calls into javascript global function 'handleOpenURL'
>         NSString* jsString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"if (typeof handleOpenURL === 'function') { handleOpenURL(\"%@\");}", url];
>         [self.webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:jsString];
>     } else {
>         // save for when page has loaded
>         self.openURL = url;
>     }
> }
> {code}
> The thing is that the second check for {{pageLoaded}} is positive even though the page is clearly at a really early stage. The Splash is still being shown and the DOM although it may be ready-ish, it doesn't work properly (clearly).
> This is the flow:
> * It comes first by {{(void)processOpenUrl:(NSURL*)url}} - The {{handleOpenUrl}} function is then called cause even though {{NO}} is passed as a parameter, Cordova gets to think it's ready.
> * Then it comes to {{onPageDidLoad}} which would call {{(void)processOpenUrl:(NSURL*)url pageLoaded:(BOOL)pageLoaded}} too but since {{openURL}} hasn't been saved this time, it won't do anything
> Just to make sure of things, I tried to {{self.openURL = url;}} even if the page was loaded and that turned out to work. 
> I don't understand the implications of this but IMHO, {{onPageDidLoad}} is a better point to understand wether the app is ready or not than querying the document like that cause the code doesn't seem to be there yet.
> Please note that I put my handler before anything else on the header to ensure it wasn't a racing issue.
