Error on iOS checking for the availability of an app

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi,
I’m using the plugin AppAvailability to check if an app is installed on a device.

I’m using it in this way:

    this.appAvailability.check(appUrl).then(flag => {
      console.log('--->appAvailability-flag:', flag);
      this.isAppAvailable = flag;
    });

Where appUrl is “newapp://” for Android and “com.newapp.stag” for iOS.

On Android it works, on iOS I have the error:

-canOpenURL: failed for URL: "newapp://" - error The operation could not be completed (OSStatus error -10814)
THREAD WARNING: ['AppAvailability'] took '14.01' ms. Plugin should use a background thread.

I’ve added to Info.plist (as described in https://github.com/ohh2ahh/AppAvailability and in https://medium.com/@guanshanliu/lsapplicationqueriesschemes-4f5fa9c7d240) the string “newapp” to the array LSApplicationQueriesSchemes, but I still get the same error.

Which could be the problem according to you?
Is still possible on iOS to check is an App is available?

Thank you
