Starting on iOS 9, apps will have to declare what URL schemes they would like to be able to check for and open in the configuration files of the app as it is submitted to Apple. This is essentially a whitelist that can only be changed or added to by submitting an update to Apple.

openURL / canOpenURL has changed in iOS9 due to user privacy. I suggest you read http://awkwardhare.com/post/121196006730/quick-take-on-ios-9-url-scheme-changes

The user will now see this prompt the first time you ask for permission as per other permission requests. This is an OS change and apps, including core applications such as messages now ask for permission when opening a custom URL scheme for the first time.
