Continuing the discussion from Is there any way to open external app from inappbroswer?:
Hi,
I have a similar issue, not with Whatsapp links, but with a link to rate the app in the App Store (starting with itms-apps://). I can’t get the capacitor Browser API (Capacitor - build cross platform apps with the web) to handle them.
I use the following code to open the App rating page in the app store:
import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
const { Browser } = Plugins;
await Browser.open({ url: 'itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/...' });
See the response from XCode below. This was no issue with Cordova, but emerged when using Capacitor.
So my question is, how do I open itms-apps links with Capacitor?
Thanks
Jan
XCode throws the following error when trying to open the link:
