Will Apple phase out URL schemes now that we have extensions ?
But the thing is that URL schemes are very convenient in some cases.
One possible solution could be that you have to include all the URLs your app intends to open in its plist file. So if you're going to list hundreds then they can go ahead and reject those apps. But this wouldn't provide perfect privacy.
So my guess is that URL schemes will be yanked soon and all developers will be forced to use extensions for inter-app communication.
