Similar issue: #38

The method [BFAppLinkNavigation navigateToURLInBackground:url] does not support custom URL Schemes. I personally feel like it should! It supports almost all other forms of opening URL's. The only way to actually navigate to links with custom URL schemes is to implement continueWithBlock:^id(BFTask *task). Is there a specific reason that custom URL schemes are not supported?

App Links as a protocol require an http or https url as the authoritative source of information (and also as the target url). It is therefore incorrect to try to navigate to just a custom url scheme, since

a.) it cannot be referenced from the internet, and cannot tell others about linking protocols in other platforms
b.) has no authoritative source

If you want to navigate to custom url schemes, then you should just do an [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url] directly, since it's NOT an App Link by definition.
