Support for opening apps #49

I am trying to redirect YouTube links to open inside the Yattee app. That would require a URL like yattee://watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ as instructed here Privacy redirect for safari adds https in the beginning, so the app can't launch.

I second this feature request. Use case: redirect YouTube links in FreeTube app on macOS

I added the freetube:// URL scheme as well. If anyone knows of any other apps like these, for youtube or otherwise, I can add their URL schemes to my PR.

Hi @FIGBERT, there at least 10 requestors (and many more users that would love this feature). There is already a first PR to support YT app redirects. Could you please take a look at the PR and into this request as a whole?

Thanks

I got it working with another app called Redirect Web for Safari.

I wrote a rule that should work. It also matches for piped.video as I started to get used to enter it into the browser instead of youtube: https://gist.github.com/lilaelephant/505fa422a0961f2c26e87e8c29fb3380

Simply download the file and then import it into the app. The App also works on MacOS and has iCloud sync. This way you can do the import on Macos, test it in Safari and if it works, then have the changes synced to your iPhone
