Protocol activation in Windows App SDK

[MartinZikmund]

i was following this page https://platform.uno/docs/articles/features/protocol-activation.html so i can open my app from the browser until i reached to
protected override void OnActivated(IActivatedEventArgs e)
which uno tells me it doesn't exist when i try to build

when i try to get the arguments from OnLaunched it always turn out empty string

and i try to open the app like this from the browser with url cycoau:youtube and it does open but with empty arguments shouldn't it be youtube or i'm missundertanding something

The Windows App SDK approach to Protocol Activation is different from UWP, we will need to check how we can support this on our side as well.

this anwser isn't applicable to the latest version any more but it got me to this

var activatedEventArgs = AppInstance.GetActivatedEventArgs();

if (activatedEventArgs.Kind == Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation.ActivationKind.Protocol)
{
    if (activatedEventArgs is Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation.ProtocolActivatedEventArgs protocolActivatedEventArgs)
    {
        argsString = protocolActivatedEventArgs.Uri.ToString();
    }
}

which gets me what i want on windows( for the WINUI3 app) when i enter the url in the browser didn't test anything else yet
