app as rss handler

[cosenal]

I have the app installed on an iPad with iOS 9.1. When I click on a RSS feed from Safari, I get the error shown in the screenshot below.

I don't know any iOS programming at all, but it looks like this can be solved using the 'feed' URL scheme, see http://stackoverflow.com/a/33059193/825190

Interesting. In the meantime you can copy a URL to the clipboard and CloudNews will offer to add it as a feed when you open the app.

Apparently it is not that easy. On my iPad the feed:// scheme currently launches Apple's News app. According to the documentation it is undefined what happens if more than one app registers the same scheme. Thus, it will never be possible to guarantee that feed:// opens CloudNews.

That's annoying, one would think there is a way to choose your favourite app for a certain scheme. But anyway, isn't it better (and no harm) to register CloudNews for that scheme, than not registering it at all? If it's the only app that's registered for feed://, then good, otherwise nobody is hurt :) That would work for my instance, where I don't have any other app installed that's registered to handle feeds.
