Delphi 10 OpenURL on IOS

I am using Delphi 10

In older RAD Studio Versions for iOS it was possible to use openURL with SharedApplication in Apple.Utils.pas

But Apple.Utils.pas cannot be found, in what unit can I find SharedApplication and openURL ?

Solution

  • You can find SharedApplication and openURL in iOSapi.UIKit, you will also need iOSapi.foundation, Macapi.Helpers

    And to use it, you will need a SharedApplication Object and a NSURL object that contains the address you would like to navigate to

    uses iOSapi.UIKit,iOSapi.foundation, Macapi.Helpers
var
    App : UIApplication;
    url : NSurl;
begin
    App := TUIApplication.Wrap(TUIApplication.OCClass.sharedApplication);
    url := TNSURL.Wrap(TNSURL.OCClass.URLWithString(StrToNSStr('http://www.stackoverflow.com')));
    if App.canopenURL(url) then //Check if there is a default App that can open the URL
      App.openURL(url) else
        ShowMessage('Can not open URL');
end;
