                    openURL:(NSURL *)url
          sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication

  • Added the branchAPIURL property to BNCPreferenceHelper instances.
    This property can be set when testing with mocking frameworks like WireMock, where canned
    server responses are needed for functional testing scenarios.

    This property can be set before Branch is initialized. For example:

    [BNCPreferenceHelper preferenceHelper].branchAPIURL = @"http://localhost/branch-mock";
    [[Branch getInstance] initSessionWithLaunchOptions:launchOptions];

    Be sure to use the Branch production API URL in production apps!
