Hey! how can I open a URL link in KMM?

[Raed Ghazal]

you have to create an implementation for each platform, if Android and iOS

androidMain

val browserIntent = Intent(
    Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
    Uri.parse(url)
)
context.startActivity(browserIntent)

iosMain

import platform.Foundation.NSURL
import platform.UIKit.UIApplication

val url = NSURL.URLWithString(it)
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url)

Thank you, @Raed Ghazal!

I thin this should work on iOS also (works on Android/Jvm):

val uriHandler = LocalUriHandler.current
uriHandler.openUri(websiteUri)

It does
