I am using a pure Qt 5.5.1 iOS widgets app. Disclaimer: This solution works but may not be the best solution. Recommendations for a cleaner approach are welcome.
Using Qt 5.5.1 I added myApplicationDelegate.mm that posts an fileOpenEvent. It would be nice if this was built into Qt. See below File: myApplicationDelegate.mm.
Then I subclass QApplication to include to add a member variable for my QMainWindowto watch for QEvent::FileOpen and call
/// Looks for QFileOpenEvent to implement app file open from
/// other apps, for example, Finder on OS X, or Apple Mail on iOS and OS X.
///
///
/// \remarks Could this work on Android too?
///
/// See file: myApplicationDelegate.mm
/// \see myApplicationDelegate.mm.mm
///
bool TcmwApplication::event(QEvent* event)
{
// iOS receives ApplicationDeactivate, ApllicationStateChange, when Home is pressed
// When iOS user opens Mail file attachment using "Open in TSR", ApplicationActivate event received but NOT QEvent::FileOpen
switch (event->type())
{
#if 0 // Why was I calling m_mainWindow.show() here? Android problem?
case QEvent::ApplicationActivate:
{
//clean();
if (false == m_mainWindow.isMinimized())
{
qDebug("m_mainWindow.show()");
// Why was I calling m_mainWindow.show() here? Android problem?
//m_mainWindow.show();
}
return true;
}
#endif
case QEvent::FileOpen:
{
// Should file attachments be copied locally as if they were downloaded from a TK?
QString fileName = static_cast<QFileOpenEvent *>(event)->file();
m_mainWindow.openFile(fileName);
return true;
}
default:
break;
}
return QApplication::event(event);
}
#endif

Hello all,
Since I updated to 5.5, I cannot launch my application by opening an email attachment or such methods, for file extensions that have been registered for my app in info.plist
I can open the documents only if the app is already running.
I can see in the app's log the following message:

The full story is that I override QIOSApplicationDelegate to be able to manage didFinishLaunchingWithOptions and openUrl methods, but even if I remove my implementations and let Qt regular QIOSApplicationDelegate load, I get the same crash. I can see that main.cpp reaches the point where it calls qApp->exec() and stays stuck there until a timeout of some sort occurs. I can see that didFinishLaunchingWithOptions is called if I activate my own delegate, as you can read from the log. But anyway with or without my own delegate, I get this crash when I launch the app through a file opening. What is this message about CoreAnimation taking too long that I don't get when I launch the app normally?
If I launch the application by clicking on the icon, it works and takes less than 2secs to load, and it will even accept all incoming files through openUrl. didFinishLaunchingWithOptions is called at startup too, but with no url as expected.
I am sure that was working before with qt 5.4.2.
What should I do to make this working? And btw what is the recommended way to override QIOSApplicationDelegate in order not to be annoyed each time a new qt version is released, and still be able to handle openUrl and such?
Thanks in advance
