The plugin doesn't work on iOS

[meysam-mahmoodi]

Hello

What did you do?

I installed the plugin successfully then created my own URL Scheme. When I type my own URL Scheme in a browser, it goes to the app correctly but handleOpenURL method is not called and I can't get anything.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected, handleOpenURL ran and I can get the App URL in App Component.

What happened instead?

The method,handleOpenURL, was not raised.

Your Environment

NativeScript version: 5.4.0
Java version:
NodeJS and NPM version: NodeJS: v8.9.1
Platform(s) running: iPhone 6s iOS 12.3.1

Demo Project

N/A

app.component

import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { NavigationEnd, Router } from "@angular/router";
import { AppURL, handleOpenURL } from "nativescript-urlhandler";

@Component({
    moduleId: module.id,
    selector: "ns-app",
    templateUrl: "app.component.html",
})

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    constructor(
        private router: Router,
    ) {}

    public ngOnInit() {
        handleOpenURL((appURL: AppURL) => {
            console.log("Got the following appURL", appURL);
        });
    }
 }

which version of the plugin you'r using?

[hypery2k]

can you try version 1.3.0?

[meysam-mahmoodi]

Thank you for your answer.
I tried that with version 1.3.0. It doesn't work. After a few hours, I still could not understand what the problem is.

@hypery2k I'm having the same problem on most recent version of Nativescript.

Don't know if this helps you but my package.json looks like this. All working on android but on iOS it just does not do anything:

I'm getting the same behavior. I'm not even seeing the "No callback provided. Please ensure that you called "handleOpenURL" during application init!" error message.

Any update on this? I am trying to use the plugin to register universal links on iOS, and, after putting in the code from the docs, nothing happens.

[hypery2k]

sorry to say but have to quit the plugin as I don't have time to support it.

[NL33]

Wow. Is there an older plugin version that works with iOS for universal links? There is a stack overflow question here that implies someone was able to use it for universal links a year ago.

[NL33]

If you are looking to handle universal links, see the code in this stack overflow answer. This code does not require this plugin.

@hypery2k please can you pass the ownership of the plug-in? Especially the npm package. Thanks

[hypery2k]

and to whom I should handover it?
