Explains where each method lives (AppDelegate vs UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate), how to wire the delegate in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, and how to decode push payloads to drive Live Activities or in-app navigation. Includes concrete Swift code examples showing payload decoding, mutable content branching, and routing tap events into shared observable state rather than firing navigation directly from the delegate. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
