title: Is there a way to intercept URLs so they are opened in my app
body: <p>Is there a way to intercept URLs on iOS (iphone/iPad) such that a URL from a specific host is always opened by my app and not by the browser? </p>
  
  <p>Example: <code>http://myapp.com/ref/123</code> -> gets opened by my app and I parse out the <code>123</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong></p>
  
  <p>I find it really weird that this isn't allowed on iOS (iphone/ipad). On Android I've been able to intercept a url and whenever it begins with <code>http://myapp...</code> it gets opened in my app. </p>
  
  <p>How does the community solve the issue of: Say a user who has my app installed on their iphone gets a link from a friend in an email. When they click it, if the link can't be opened in my app...how else am I suppose to do anything good with the shared url? OR should I not be passing <code>http://</code> links but <code>myapp://</code> instead??</p>
