I've been trying to register a uri scheme handler, something like

I've had very little success.. it seems to work if I use the
"lca-tool" command to verify it but nothing happens in Sailfish
browser when visiting such an url. It just tells me "myapp is not a
registered protocol". I can find my handler in
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and it looks ok.
Is there something besides editing the .desktop file and running
"update-desktop-database" that I still need todo to make it work?
You can make a protocol handler and use it between applications in
Sailfish OS and that is what you have. However, Gecko only maps specific
predefined protocols to ones available in system. See:
https://github.com/tmeshkova/embedlite-components/commit/af49c55c20809d419ab02e3512120bca3654492c
Writing a similar protocol handler for Gecko and installing it from your
package might be technically possible, but might not be accepted to harbour.
