Quick way to open a Custom URL Scheme in iOS Simulator
Table of Contents
In the past, the way I test a custom URL scheme is to go to Safari and type in any of my custom URLs in the address bar.
Testing a custom URL scheme with Safari
This method works, but it is a bit cumbersome. Safari doesn't remember the last custom URL, that's mean you have to type it again and again. And going back and forth between your app and Safari makes things worst.

A better alternative
xcrun is a tool to run any tool inside Xcode from the command line. The tool for this job is simctl, which help you manage simulators.
To open a custom URL scheme (or any website) in a simulator.
- Run your app in the Simulator.
- Open Terminal.app (located in /Applications/Utilities)
- Enter the following command and hit ⏎ Return.
xcrun simctl openurl booted <url>Example
xcrun simctl openurl booted acme://testThis will simulate what we used to do in Safari, but a lot easier and faster.
