how to open an URL in Swift3

Question

openURL has been deprecated in Swift3   Can anyone provide some examples of how the replacement openURL options completionHandler  works when trying to open an url

User · Answer

Above answer is correct but if you want to check you canOpenUrl or not try like this.

let url = URL(string: "http://www.facebook.com")!
if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
    UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
    //If you want handle the completion block than 
    UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: { (success) in
         print("Open url : \(success)")
    })
}

Note: If you do not want to handle completion you can also write like this.

UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:])

No need to write completionHandler as it contains default value nil, check apple documentation for more detail.

If you want to open inside the app itself instead of leaving the app you can import SafariServices and work it out   import UIKit import SafariServices  let url   URL string   https   www google com   let vc   SFSafariViewController url  url   present vc  animated  true  completion  nil
