I am trying to call LaunchUriAsync from a cshtml view using JavaScript code. Below is my code.
try {
let appStatus = Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Windows.Foundation.Uri("https://www.google.com")).done(
function (success) {
console.log("launch complete");
if (success) {
console.log("launch success")
} else {
console.log("launch failed")
}
}, function (err) {
console.log("launch error")
});
}
catch (ex) {
console.log("launch throws")
console.log(JSON.stringify(ex))
}
I am getting the output "launch throws" but I am getting empty exception logged to console so not really understanding what is the exception that is thrown. Any idea why this might be throwing?
launchUriAsync with a lowercase l works:
Windows.System.Launcher.launchUriAsync(new Windows.Foundation.Uri("https://www.google.com"))
