Keith,
Thanks for the assist... In some cases a http call will open the mobile app if
it's installed. For example, https://m.facebook.com will launch the mobile
app. However, now with further testing, I have a new problem. On android, if
the app isn't installed it's not returning "no association". The result is
empty. Must be a bug! I'm using LC Business 9.6.2
Thank you!

Only one thought: the protocols that do work on iOS are general

that set up already it seems it can’t be done.

Would it work well enough to use a regular https URL to the resource on
Facebook? It would open in the user’s browser, but it may be enough.

Facebook is installed). Then I read that you have to enter the Custom URLs you
want to use in the "App URL Query Whitelist" area in the Application Builder.
Is this true? Why does the app have to know at compile time what URLs are
going to be opened? In my app's case, client can change and edit the list on a
server, so the list of apps to launch are received by the our app at launch.
