Quick example of registering a URLScheme in a Titanium app using the TiApp.xml without info.plist file. Just add the following into your TiApp.xml (I put it under the </iphone> tag. Works on Android and iOS.

Quick Example of registering a scheme in TiApp.xml, implementing the code in app.js / alloy.js

// points for getting this shorter using regex
function urlToObject(url) {
var returnObj = {};
url = url.replace('URLSCHEMENAME://?', '');
var params = url.split('&');
params.forEach(function(param) {
var keyAndValue = param.split('=');
returnObj[keyAndValue[0]] = decodeURI(keyAndValue[1]);
});
return returnObj;
}
function processArgs() {
if (Ti.App.getArguments().url) {
urlToObject(Ti.App.getArguments().url);
}
}
// on launch
processArgs();
// on resume
Ti.App.addEventListener("resumed", function(){
processArgs();
});

I assume this tag in is some Titanium uses to generate stuff for the AndroidManifest.xml right? I get a generated activity in there, but I'm missing the declared intent-filters. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I've the same problem as @GertjanSmits. Activity is listed in the generated AndroidManifest.xml but there is no <intent-filter> tag within the <activity> tag. Does anyone have an idea why?

Is this still working as supposed to? What does line #20 do in TiApp.xml ? url="app.js" does not make sense to me
