Do you mean update that key via code while your app is installed on the user’s device? That’s not possible. Two issues with that:
- Your entire app bundle is read-only so you can’t modify
Info.plist
or any other file at all. LSApplicationQueriesSchemes
is thus also read-only because its whole purpose is to minimize abuse of the canOpenURL
API. Previously, apps could use it to scrape a list of other apps that are installed on the device. So their stance is: you aren’t allowed to do that any more. The limit of 50 entries is a simple compromise to allow legitimate use of canOpenURL
without letting malicious/advertising apps get away with scraping too much information.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
