How to open app from Twitter for iOS WebView on iOS 9

Question

My question pertains to deeplinking from a link shared on Twitter into my app on iOS 9.

Prior to iOS 9, using an app's URL scheme in a redirect would take the user from Twitter into that app. Now, as described here (I'm assuming this is the reason it no longer works), URL schemes for other apps can not be opened by Twitter. It still works on the Facebook app for iOS 9, and I assume the difference is Twitter uses canOpenUrl: , which now returns NO .

This led me to try Universal Links , but with my current implementation these only work in Safari.

Has anyone found a solution or workaround?

Add Twitter scheme to your Info.plist.

 <key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
    <array>
        <string>twitter</string>
    </array>
