Added scheme to LSApplicationQueriesSchemes but canOpenURL still fails

Question

Please help! Why am i still getting not allowed to query for scheme despite including the scheme in the LSApplicationQueriesSchemes?

My class:

class LearningBotScreen: UIViewController {

    @IBAction func googleAssistantOpenButtonPressed(_ sender: Any) {
        let googleAssistantUrl = URL(string:"youtube://")!

        if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(googleAssistantUrl){
            print("opening");
            UIApplication.shared.open(googleAssistantUrl)
            /*UIApplication.shared.open(googleAssistantUrl!, options:[:], completionHandler: nil)*/
        }
        else{
            print("download app")
            UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "http://apps.apple.com/sg/app/id1220976145")!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
            }


}

My info.plist:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0">

Answer 1

You've edited the info.plist that belongs to your UI tests target, not your app target. Add the LSApplicationQueriesSchemes entry to your app's info.plist instead.
