Description

On some of my projects, I needed to add additional URL schemes to my iOS applications. Right now that involves manually editing the build/iphone/Info.plist file. With this change I can just make a new property on tiapp.xml and it automatically adds the custom url scheme on the next build.

We've had support for this since Titanium SDK 3.0.0. You can simply specify any custom URL schemes in the tiapp.xml like this:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <ti:app xmlns:ti="http://ti.appcelerator.org">
       <!-- other stuff -->
       <ios>
           <plist>
               <dict>
                   <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
                   <array>
                       <dict>
                           <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
                           <!-- same as ti:app/id -->
                           <string>my.app.id</string>
                           <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
                           <array>
                               <!-- your custom scheme -->
                               <string>myapp</string>
                               <!-- same as 'fb' plus ti:app/property[name=ti.facebook.appid] -->
                               <string>fb123456789</string>
                           </array>
                       </dict>
                   </array>
                   <!-- other ios/plist stuff -->
               </dict>
           </plist>
           <!-- other ios stuff -->
       </ios>
   </ti:app>
