URL Schemes in iOS 9

Hello,

I was reading that from iOS 9 developers can add URL scheme handlers for specific domains. So instead of using "myapp://domain" we can now add handlers for actual domain names like "www.myappdomain/somefile.html". Has anyone done that, is it supported in Air 19?

Thanks,

Ruben

I think you may have misinterpreted my wordings. That link was just for information purpose. My mistake I didn't posted official link to that. Anyways, you are right in your assumption that NSUserActivity is coupled with Invoke event in AS3.

Hi, isn't URL Schemes different from Universal Links? I am looking to use URL Schemes to switch from one of my apps to another. My understanding of Universal Links is that it is for linking to your app from an email, for instance. Anyone have details on an implementation of URL Schemes? How does AS3 access the info.plist of the app to get the whitelist of approved apps for switching?

agupta looks like you are promoting some sort of 3rd party tool? I am not interested in that.

Anton here is an article about linking a URL to your app, they call it Universal Links App Search Programming Guide: Support Universal Links

We currently have no device with iOS 9 so I could not test it, yet. But I would assume the NSUserActivity would be coupled to the Invoke event in AS3..?

I don't tried this because this can be done via js inside your html file This is apple feature without actual feature

But if this iOS9-only feature I think this can be implemented in AIR 20.
