Open capacitor app from another app

[zvitek]

Hello, it's possible to register own protocol to open application from outside?
I want to open my application from browser (it's possible from capacitor://localhost.., but if you have installed more applications it's doesn't work)
I know about deep linking, but it's not best way for me.

Thank you for help.

Your app scheme should be unique, if you have multiple apps registering capacitor scheme then, as you say, it won't work.
To change it, just go to App Info page on Xcode and replace capacitor with something else

@jcesarmobile Thank you! That's what i looked for.
On android will be something like that too?

Yeah, on Android it's the custom_url_scheme entry in strings.xml file.
On android it's unique as it gets set based on the app id, but you can change it to match iOS value.
