Can’t use Application.OpenURL on iOS 18 [SOLVED]

Unity Engine

Hey all,

I’m trying to open a URL in my game using Application.OpenURL which works in the editor in macOS. But when trying to do the same on device, no URL gets opened and Xcode prints this error out:

BUG IN CLIENT OF UIKIT: The caller of UIApplication.openURL(_:) needs to migrate to the non-deprecated UIApplication.open(_:options:completionHandler:). Force returning false (NO).

My test device is an iPhone 15 Pro on iOS 18, I’m building with Unity 2022.3.20 and Xcode version 16.0.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I just found this to be the error through XCode. Dunno how to solve that. Adding it here for visibility

Yeah I was seeing that as well. Not sure if Unity needs to update how they are opening URLs on the iOS side. Seems like UIApplication.openURL is completely deprecated in iOS 18 now.

Unity seems to be updated for this in latest versions.

Yup, I updated to 2022.3.47 and built off of that, and this works now! Thank you!
