  • Deep-linking and custom url scheme both are different. Deep-linking is advance then custom url scheme. – SPatel Jul 05 '18 at 12:46

You need to implement universal links on website and app.

You can also use Branch to help you integrating universal links / deep linking.

  • Ok Florent , Thanks for the response, Is there any other way to implement this without universal link? – jatinder singh Jul 09 '18 at 13:07
  • If it's not universal link, it's an app link. Format is `myapp://action`. Depending of your app goal, you can also implement share extension. – Florent Morin Jul 09 '18 at 14:44

You have to implement Universal linking for acheaving this type of functionality. This would give you a good start .

https://medium.com/@abhimuralidharan/universal-links-in-ios-79c4ee038272

After that, when you click on the link, your application will open and following delegate function called in AppDelegate.

func application(_ application: UIApplication, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: @escaping ([Any]?) -> Void) -> Bool {
    print("Continue User Activity called: ")
    if userActivity.activityType == NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb {
        let url = userActivity.webpageURL!
        print(url.absoluteString)
        //handle url and open whatever page you want to open.
    }
    return true
}

The url.absolutelyString return the url string on which you tapped. Chop out your video_id and open the appropriate ViewController.

  • if you want to do this from your domain name. then you must implement universal link. otherwise if you wish to use custom url scheme, then you can achieve this by deep linking – Ajay saini Jul 09 '18 at 13:12
