-------------------------------------
The url scheme passed to the app is a form of inter-process communication,
kinda like how we do gap:// urls, but this is up to the app developer on how
they marshal/unmarshal the url into something they can use.
Right now in iOS, it is a bit confusing - there are two ways that the URL is
handled and passed off to the UIWebView.
1. On *first* app startup, the URL sent is passed off to the UIWebView by
setting a global variable - window.invokeString. The URL is passed off
untouched (see:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-ios/blob/master/Cordova-based%20Application/Classes/AppDelegate.m#L67)
2. On subsequent launches, i.e. resume from background (multi-tasking), the
handleOpenURL function is called instead, and this in turn calls the global
JavaScript function in the UIWebView window.handleOpenURL and this is passed
the URL, untouched (see:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-ios/blob/master/Cordova-based%20Application/Classes/AppDelegate.m#L126)
