Smart banner is not working on iOS7

Question

In iOS7 safari, clicking smart banner "open" button doesn't trigger UIApplication::openURL:(NSURL *)....

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation

This issue reproduced only in iOS7. I have a feeling that this is a bug in iOS7.

Same happened to me, while iOS6 devices are working completely fine, iOS7 devices are just ignoring the `app-argument` parameter. — Furkan Mustafa, Oct 11 '13 at 14:17
I filed Apple bug report #15238526. Never heard of Radar before. +1 for suggesting. — RocketMan, Oct 16 '13 at 03:58
Official reply from Apple as follow "Engineering has determined that your bug report (15238526) is a duplicate of another issue (14712951) and will be closed. — RocketMan, Nov 05 '13 at 21:10
A note to everyone experiencing this who hasn't filed a Radar yet -- DO IT YOURSELF even though Hussain got a duplicate, as you will. The number of duplicates of a Radar bug is directly and strongly correlated to how important addressing it becomes internally. — Alex Curylo, Nov 17 '13 at 21:12

Well-known bug in iOS 7.

Get all your developer buddies to keep filing duplicate Radars until Apple deigns to address the issue is your only option here.

Did my part. Filed 15488187. Still not fixed in 7.0.4 *sigh* – Ray Fix Nov 17 '13 at 01:17
Is this issue fixed in iOS 8.1.3 ? – Femina Feb 12 '15 at 11:14
Generally considered to be working as of iOS 7.1. Most consistent complaint since is that it only works with store-installed apps, not development builds. – Alex Curylo Feb 14 '15 at 00:04
