URL scheme issues with iOS 9

Before iOS 9 I routinely used the "load native app" plugin and its "custom url scheme" option to open other apps on the iPhone/iPad. Specifically I used it to link to my company's Facebook page (native FB app) and Twitter account (native twitter app). This no longer works. Anyone have a simple work around? Josh

Another article to read is the iOS 9.2 Link Migration Guide. It has a nice table of what to do for certain situations. When iOS 9.2 was released on Dec 8th, thousands of app developers suddenly realized their app experience was broken. A small change in Safari’s handling of deep links resulted in many sleepless nights for the app community that was struggling to prepare for the holiday shutdown. It was an untimely yet inevitable change. http://www.business2community.com/mobile-apps/ios-9-2-link-migration-guide-01411252#KjLAjrz5ikYBgMgV.97 -- Niraj

I'm interested to understand if the BT core needs to be updated to accommodate the changes Apple are making?
