Open URL in Oculus Browser from Unity application

[julienkay]

The title basically says it all. Is it possible for an application to open the Oculus Browser with a specific URL? Maybe through App Deep Linking?

Yes, same issue here. The OS asks to quit the Unity app, then the browser opens if you accept, but the URL is ignored.

Yes, I have the same issue. In my case, there seems to be some URLs that the Meta browser won't open, so it just opens a blank page.

I have links in my Quest app, and it's opened with this code, now in v50 it wouldn't close the app, but v51 is closing the app.  I have links to Youtube, Facebook, bit.ly, reddit and my website.

Application.OpenURL(url);

Any update? Unity documentation says:

Android: Due to security changes in Android 7.0 (More information), Application.OpenURL can no longer be used for opening local app files, you need to use (FileProvider) which allows you to share files with other applications.
