SFSafariViewController crash: The specified URL has an unsupported scheme

Question

My code:

if let url = NSURL(string: \"www.google.com\") {
    let safariViewController = SFSafariViewController(URL: url)
    safariViewController.view.tintColor         


        

Answer 1

Try checking scheme of URL before making an instance of SFSafariViewController.

Swift 3:

func openURL(_ urlString: String) {
    guard let url = URL(string: urlString) else {
        // not a valid URL
        return
    }

    if ["http", "https"].contains(url.scheme?.lowercased() ?? "") {
        // Can open with SFSafariViewController
        let safariViewController = SFSafariViewController(url: url)
        self.present(safariViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    } else {
        // Scheme is not supported or no scheme is given, use openURL
        UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
    }
}

Swift 2:

func openURL(urlString: String) {
    guard let url = NSURL(string: urlString) else {
        // not a valid URL
        return
    }

    if ["http", "https"].contains(url.scheme.lowercaseString) {
        // Can open with SFSafariViewController
        let safariViewController = SFSafariViewController(URL: url)
        presentViewController(safariViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    } else {
        // Scheme is not supported or no scheme is given, use openURL
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url)
    }
}
