How to open app from email URL in iOS 9?

Question

I've tried something like:

In the AppDelegate:

func application(application: UIApplication, handleOpenURL url: NSURL) -> Bool {
    var returnValue = false
    let urlString = url.absoluteString
    print(urlString)
    if(urlString.hasPrefix("")){
        returnValue = true
    }
    return returnValue
}

In the info.plist

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
        <string>co.example.ExampleApp</string>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
            <string>example</string>
        </array>
    </dict>
</array>

But doesn't work. I want the app opens from a link that I send via email, anyone has an idea to make it work?

For future users, as @iSashok mentioned in the comments, the handleOpenURL function is deprecated as of iOS 9.

For newer versions of iOS you need to use the following function (Apple Docs):

optional func application(_ app: UIApplication, 
                 open url: URL, 
              options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool

You'll be able to keep the body of the function the same as before, and now it will work.
