canOpenUrl(...)

canOpenUrl(options: CanOpenURLOptions) => Promise<CanOpenURLResult>

Check if an app can be opened with the given URL.

On iOS you must declare the URL schemes you pass to this method by adding the LSApplicationQueriesSchemes key to your app's Info.plist file. Learn more about configuring Info.plist.

This method always returns false for undeclared schemes, whether or not an appropriate app is installed. To learn more about the key, see LSApplicationQueriesSchemes.
