It looks like a subset of this functionality is missing:

  • No email app, so the mailto: link doesn't work.
  • No phone app, so tel: doesn't work.
  • There is an SMS app, so sms: works.
  • There is a browser, so http: works.

How about this warning is placed underneath the table and worded a little more generally to point out that only actions supported by apps on the device can be taken? Something like:

URL schemes will fail if there are no apps installed on the device that can support them. For example, iOS simulators do not have a default email or phone app installed and so do not support tel: or mailto: links.


| Scheme | Action |
|---|---|
| `http:<URL>` , `https:<URL>`, e.g. `http://flutter.dev` | Open URL in the default browser |
