Description

Hi,

I've implemented universal links and got it working on Android and iOS using Safari.
On Chrome for iOS it does not work. If I got it right that's because Chrome does not support Universal Links. As a workaround it is recommended to display a intermediary website and redirect to the app using URL schemes.

That would mean that https://github.com/nativescript-community/appurl is not totally deprecated, as it's still required to make linking into an app work on most devices.

Do I get this right?
