Custom URL Scheme not working on Swift 5, Xcode 11

Question

I've added a custom URL scheme to my Xcode project (I'm using SwiftUI).

In the AppDelagate file I've added:

func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
        print(url.absoluteString)
        print("work")
        return true
    }

When I to Safari (sampleurlscheme://) in either the emulator or a physical device the code is not being executed (i.e. the logs do not show etc), But it is taking me to the app.

Is there something I'm missing or could this be a bug ?

it appears that this is being handled in SceneDelegate.swift with function: func ```scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set)``` — 39fredy, Sep 16 '19 at 19:23

How do I call this? – Zack Shapiro Nov 01 '19 at 03:42
It should be called automatically, in this function (in SceneDelegate) add whatever logic you need to add. If it’s not in scene delegate add it – 39fredy Nov 01 '19 at 03:44

I'm trying to open a url from a view in SwiftUI, any idea how I can go about that? Doesn't seem to be anything online about it – Zack Shapiro Nov 01 '19 at 03:45
Take a look at [this](https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/117348) – 39fredy Nov 01 '19 at 03:50
Thanks. I just want to open the link in Safari, I don't need a webview in my app – Zack Shapiro Nov 01 '19 at 03:51
how to get the url from this method ? previously we take it from application(open: ..) method's signature – JAHelia Jan 22 '20 at 07:06

@JAHelia Just add this to the top of the method: `guard let url = URLContexts.first?.url else { return }` – Extragorey Jul 08 '20 at 05:43
