Sorry, but on standalone WINDOWS there is no simple way to use deeplinks?
I’m trying with: Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue etc etc but every time it opens a new instance of the same app and I’m going crazy
Could you help me?
The concept of a “Deeplink” is quite vague when you’re outside the WWW. The term has creeped over to the mobile world, though this is mainly due to the way how apps work.
I guess you actually talk about a custom URI scheme handler? Yes, invoking a custom scheme handler would start that application with the URI as an argument unless you use the old and deprecated DDE. Since implementing DDE is quite complex, error prone and not recommended, I would highly recommend to actually create a separate URI handler that you register that actually communicates the information to your actual Unity app and start it if necessary. The communication between the handler and your actual Unity app could be done through sockets or other IPC means.
While this is not particularly complicated, the whole thing is not trivial either.
