    Limitations When Launching .NET MAUI Windows App via Custom URI Scheme


    After investigating this setup, I observed the following limitations:Windows Focus Restrictions:When the app is already running and is triggered via the custom URI e.g., abcapp://, Windows does not bring the app window to the foreground. This seems to be a restriction imposed by the OS, requiring explicit user interaction to shift focus to the app.Lack of Built-in URI Activation Support in .NET MAUI:.NET MAUI currently lacks built-in support or abstraction for handling URI scheme activations on Windows, unlike other platforms like Android and iOS which provide URI intent/deep link handling t

  2. Custom accent color and theme settings uri scheme

    Hi,



    I am new developer to Windows phone 8. I plan to develop apps to customize accent colors other than predefined 20 colors. Can someone please help me to achieve this. And I read about some pre-defined uri-scheme also. But I cant found uri-scheme for theme
    settings. Can someone kindly provide the uri-scheme for this or else please tell the alternate way to launch theme settings window from my app on button click.

    Thanks in advance

  3. URI Scheme reference to always open Settings App on Home page

    Using "ms-settings:", in the Run command, this opens the Settings App to its Home page. After, if I use "ms-settings:bluetooth", the same Settings App will be redirected to its Bluetooth page.

    If I want to go back to Settings Home Page using a URI Scheme, "ms-settings:" does nothing. Therefore I'm assuming that "ms-settings:" is used only to open the Settings App, not to redirect it to its Home Page. I've looked everywhere, and I can't find a URI Scheme that will do this.

    Is there a URI Scheme that can redirect the Settings App to its Home Page? Redirect the Settings App when it's already running?

    Something that would ressemble "ms-settings:home" perhaps?
