@Ionitron i created a sample app .. If you need any help let me know. test-CIO.zip

Steps to run::

• run npm i
• add platforms
• run the app
• when you click on launch it will give true response
• when you click on launchWKD status will print as completed false. but it will not launch workday app or even default calendar app also

@Ionitron any update on this issue. Since we need to go live our app. we are blocked with this applauncher plugin issues. Please do need full help ASAP. Thanks in advance

On iOS you can't use the app id to open the app, the app needs to have a custom URLScheme configured and should be known, not all apps have and some have but are public/known. Here you can check a list of know url schemes https://github.com/bhagyas/app-urls

On Android you can use the url scheme or the package name, that is working fine for me. Note that if you are in Android 11 device, you need to add the package to the queries entry in AndroidManifest.xml

I've added some clarifications about that on https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-plugins/pull/555
