Swift 3 trying to open URL: shared and open is unavailable?

Question

This is incredibly frustrating as I knew how to do this in Swift 2. I am building a message app extension and in a class in my footer in a collection view, I am just trying to open a url. Ive looked at every other post I swear but I get the same errors.

I am trying to do this:

let url = URL(string: "url here")
        UIApplication.shared.open(url!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)

But I get the errors:

This should be simple. What am I doing wrong here?

You have multiple errors. Please limit yourself to 1 problem per post. To fix one of your problems, put a comma after `let text = ""` so that it is `let text = "",`. This looks like a cut and past error. Also images of errors are not helpful; please cut and paste actual text. — Robotic Cat, Dec 24 '16 at 02:21
That won't fix it. He needs to move that declaration out of the guard. — Leo Dabus, Dec 24 '16 at 02:21
@LeoDabus: Quite possibly but problem 1 is getting the syntax correct and OP is missing a comma. — Robotic Cat, Dec 24 '16 at 02:22

go this way,

let phoneUrl = "tel://45657657" //your url
      if let url = URL(string: phoneUrl){
           if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
              UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:])
            } else {
              // Fallback on earlier versions
            }
       }
