BFAppLinkNavigation methods with custom URL scheme not working about bolts-objc HOT 4 OPEN

Here's what going on with your code:
[BFAppLinkNavigation resolveAppLinkInBackground:url] is actually failing. Because you're using continueWithSuccessBlock and you don't test for error then you're just missing it. You can go with continueWithBlock to actually handle this error.

[[BFAppLinkNavigation resolveAppLinkInBackground:URL] resolveLink continueWithBlock:^id(BFTask *task) {
    //if AppLinks failed fallback on the default "mechanism", you can also manually add your referral meta data, it's not really complicated to see what keys/values are added to the URL
     if (task.error) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:URL];
        return nil;
    }

     //Do your stuff when AppLinks successfully resolved your URL

      return nil;
}];

If you look at the actual NSError, you will understand why it's failing

(lldb) po taskk.error
Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1002 "unsupported URL" UserInfo=0x113e65390 {NSUnderlyingError=0x1181b0550 "unsupported URL", NSErrorFailingURLStringKey= receiver://xxx, NSErrorFailingURLKey= receiver://xxx, NSLocalizedDescription=unsupported URL}

So for now in my code I have a simply test on the URL scheme, if it's http or https I'm using AppLinks otherwise I'll use the classic openURL:.
Once again, it's really easy to add the referral data to your custom scheme URL. That's the beauty of AppLinks being open-source

@jmig That's a good solution. However, don't you think that it would make sense to support custom URL Schemes in [BFAppLinkNavigation resolveAppLinkInBackground:url] without having to implement continueWithBlock?

I would accept both answers from AppLink.

1. It would be great to have this support out of the box.
2. They're trying to make http/https urls the default deep-linking protocol and rely on AppLink for resolving it. So it's maybe by design.

@mingflifb @nlutsenko-fb I think this should be closed per #47
