How to custom scheme in NativeScript Projects

Android
Add following code to your AndroidManifest.xml, where you can find through /app/App_Resources/Android/AndroidManifest.xml

<activity android:launchMode="singleTop">

<!-- Copy from here -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="yourscheme" />
</intent-filter>
<!-- Copy end here -->

</activity>

NOTE: the attribute android:launchMode="singleTop" prevent OS start multiple activities.

iOS
Add following code to your Info.plist, where you can find it in /app/App_Resources/iOS/Info.plist

<dict>
<!-- Copy from here -->
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
<string>your.app.id</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>yourscheme</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>
<!-- Copy end here -->
</dict>

NOTE: After modified AndroidManifest.xml or Info.plist, please remove the entire platform and re-add the platform. This is also recommended by official document.
