Question

I’ve added an URL scheme to my app and it opens up (or is brought back to front if already open) correctly when clicked on a link “my_scheme://item_to_add”.

I found how to capture the link on iOS:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url;

Anyone can point me to a similar method on a Mac, where I would be able to capture the link?

Ok, found out the answer myself again 😉

//Register to the AppleEventManager
NSAppleEventManager *appleEventManager = [NSAppleEventManager sharedAppleEventManager];
[appleEventManager setEventHandler:self   andSelector:@selector(handleGetURLEvent:withReplyEvent:) forEventClass:kInternetEventClass andEventID:kAEGetURL];

And the implement the selector method:

- (void)handleGetURLEvent:(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)event withReplyEvent:       (NSAppleEventDescriptor *)replyEvent
{
    NSString* url = [[event paramDescriptorForKeyword:keyDirectObject] stringValue];
    NSLog(@"%@", url);
}
