Xamarin.Android IntentFilter DataSchemes issue

Question

Hi,
Our Xamarin.Android app is used to respond to open an URL in SMS or email.

code in App.xaml.cs:

protected override void OnAppLinkRequestReceived(Uri uri)
{
base.OnAppLinkRequestReceived(uri);
...

We would like to have respond to an URL without http:// or https://, too.
For example: learn.microsoft.com

I tried twice by changing code to DataSchemes = new[] { "http", "https", "" } and DataSchemes = new[] { "http", "https", "*" }

It worked by SMS (Messages) , but not by email (Outlook)

How to specify DataSchemes?

respond to learn.microsoft.com when click it in email (Outlook):

Hello Yongqing,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Based on your screenshot, I notice you open this URL in the Outlook app by internal Webview.

Please open the settings in the Outlook. scroll down, find the Preferences, enable the Use default browser selection, then you can open this URL by your application(If you set your application as default browser in your Android device).

Your DataSchemes = new[] { "http", "https", "" } is worked in my side.

Best Regards,

Leon Lu
