Support for Universal Links in iOS9

[funge]

iOS9 no longer supports opening apps with custom URL schemes. It instead introduces "Universal Links".

Would be great if the Custom-Url-scheme plugin could be updated to support Universal Links

Thanks for the suggestion! It would be a nice addition, perhaps it should be a new plugin, I need to investigate this a little.

Fortunately iOS 9 still supports Custom URL Schemes as it did before (see screenshots I just snagged from my iPhone 6 running iOS9 GM).

[ohh2ahh]

It would be awesome if your plugin could support both URL Schemes and Universal Links (iOS 9+) for iOS and Android (Android supports both too).

Hey Eddy!

I'm interested in building a plugin that would 'Open URLs As'. Great bump for user engagement on digest emails and social media.

Count on my support.

There's a newish plugin that handles Universal Links for both Android and iOS: https://github.com/nordnet/cordova-universal-links-plugin

I've tried it on both platforms and it works great. Note it doesn't (as of yet) handle custom URL schemes like this plugin does.

@EddyVerbruggen @nordnet Maybe you can get together and have a beautiful baby together that does both :-D

@dpa99c while a marriage between both plugins would be nice, I guess they just work too differently. Keeping them into seperated plugins should be the best case actually.

@dpa99c Did this plugin (https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-plugin-deeplinks) end up doing both ?

[dpa99c]

@adityasaxena Seems so. But we've got to thank @EddyVerbruggen for being the pioneer :-)

[adityasaxena]

@dpa99c Of course, even that plugin owes to @EddyVerbruggen and @nordnet for inspiration.
