A Cordova/PhoneGap plugin that lets hybrid mobile apps be launched via a custom URL scheme such as mycoolapp://. It registers the scheme on iOS and Android and provides JavaScript hooks to handle incoming URLs.

Use cases

• launch my cordova app from a custom url like mycoolapp://
• handle deep links in a phonegap app
• register a custom url scheme on ios and android for a hybrid app
• open my app from a link in an email or sms
• route users into specific app screens via url parameters
• detect whether my app is installed and open it from a web page

When to choose

• you maintain a legacy Cordova/PhoneGap app that needs custom URL scheme launching
• you need a uniform deep-linking scheme across iOS and Android in a hybrid app
• you want simple JavaScript handling of incoming launch URLs

When to avoid

• you are building a native iOS or Android app (use native deep linking APIs instead)
• you use modern frameworks like Capacitor, React Native, or Flutter with their own plugin ecosystems
• you need universal links or app links with web fallbacks rather than custom schemes
