No reaction to Deep-link defined in info.plist - ios

Question

i defined a deep-link in info.plist like this :
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
<string>com.myapp.customer</string>
<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>myapp.com</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>
but in Safari there's no reaction to this link and this message shows up :
Safari cannot open the page because the server can not be found
Everything is checked and i did as tutorials and still nothing happens!

Answer 1

The CFBundleURLSchemes field should be filled with a scheme, not a url. Schemes come before the url to tell the browser what action to take. For example, https:// is a scheme that tells the browser to establish a secure connection. An Apple URI scheme is simply you telling the browser that you want URLs with your custom scheme (i.e. customScheme://) to be handled by your app. HTTP and HTTPS are reserved for Safari on iOS. To allow customScheme://example/path to open your app. Just change that field to customScheme.
If you would like to register normal web URLs to handle your links you will have to integrate Universal Links. These can be a pain to set up so I recommend using the Branch iOS SDK. Their deep linking is free and provides more features on top of Universal Links.

Answer 2

Make sure you have this method in AppDelegate.Swift
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
if url.scheme != nil && url.scheme!.hasPrefix(""){
//Deep linking link should be like this : 'yourAppScheme'
if(url.host?.contains("page"))!{
if(url.path.contains("/yourhoststring")){
// do some work
}
}
}
//default
return false
}
Your Url scheme should be like this : [scheme]://[host]/[path]
