12/28/2023, 11:48 AMAs i know for Windows for example, i need to setup registry key for the application. Is this step required when using OpenUriHandler?

12/28/2023, 11:49 AMI’ve never used this myself, so I don’t know. The docs only mentions macOS, so either it doesn’t work on other platforms, or it doesn’t need an extra setup, or maybe it does after all and the docs just don’t mention it.

jpackage--file-associationsa

12/28/2023, 11:57 AMI also looked for jpackage options but didn't find anything either. Only something called jDeploy but i guess it is something different

12/28/2023, 12:43 PMDoesn't have windows machine to try right now. But there is still requirement to modify windows registry to do it. It seems there is no similar gradle option like for mac info.plist but for windows registry :(

12/28/2023, 12:43 PMMaybe the JVM does it when you first run the app, or maybe there’s some other mechanism; I’m not sure.

12/28/2023, 1:00 PMYep, registry can be modified manually at runtime so there should not be a problem i guess

12/28/2023, 4:32 PM@Alexander Zhirkevich Conveyor uses the "new" Windows way to do things, which doesn't involve registry keys. It's more macOS like, you have an XML file that describes OS integration points.

app.url-schemes = [ my-app ]my-app://a

12/28/2023, 4:34 PMOk, thanks, I’ll try it
