iOS9: canOpenURL returning false for WhatApp's url scheme
In iOS 9 you must whitelist any URL schemes your App wants to query in Info.plist under the LSApplicationQueriesSchemes key (an array of strings):
For example:
So in your case, instead of fb
and twitter
you will have to specify whatsapp
.
Note that this mechanism only applies to canOpenURL and not openURL. You do not need to have a scheme listed in Info.plist to be able to open it with openURL. Hope that helps.
In addition to @z22's answer if you need to add it textually (e.g. with Xamarin) then it looks like this:
<dict>
...
<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>whatsapp</string>
</array>
</dict>
