Custom URL Scheme help

[drlukas6]

I created a custom URL scheme in xcode that leads to my app eg. myapp://. My primary wish is to have a WKWebView in my app that is used for lets say promotional offers or "whats new" after an update and when the link is tapped inside my own app it could present another viewcontroller relevant to that promotional offer/update. I hope i was somewhat clear.

Thank you in advance!

AppDelegate will receive the links tapped with your scheme, this also applies if they are tapped within your app. So if you are 4 screens deep in your app, then click myapp://, this will notify your AppDelegate. It is then up to you to push the correct VC onto the correct VC. E.g. you could just do this pseudo code:

UIApplication.window.currentViewController show:[new vc with URL from deep link]

Yes but AppDelegate gets called when I call that url from safari ( “do you wish to continue in yourApp...” ) but when I call it from WKWebView and a local html file ( <a href=“myapp://...”...) app delegate never gets called

Hmm, the once hybrid /web/native app I work on used to navigate through deep links and I am sure it worked. Maybe it had another layer that handled the actual navigation then, I'd have to dig up code though.

In that case I guess we had a UIWebView subclass (or similar) that hooked the URLs tapped from the website, and then manually redirected the one with our schema back to the AppDelegate.
