Such a URL id impossible to handle. You need a custom scheme. — Sulthan, Apr 03 '17 at 05:58

use the call back method for handle the referral source

func application(_ application: UIApplication, open url: URL, sourceApplication: String?, annotation: Any) -> Bool {

    print("source application:\(sourceApplication)")
    let value: String = url.absoluteString as String
    print("value :\(value)")
    print("scheme: \(url.scheme)")
    print("query: \(url.query)")

    return true
}

@KavinKumarArumugam - url schema is nothing but, may be what ever you think you can set for e.g, if I set the schema as `karthik` the call back we need to handle with karthik – Anbu.Karthik Apr 03 '17 at 06:39

Check this link to support Universal Link

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppSearch/UniversalLinks.html

When you support universal links, iOS users can tap a link to your website and get seamlessly redirected to your installed app without going through Safari. If your app isn’t installed, tapping a link to your website opens your website in Safari.
