> Don't know about the other platforms, but there are two ways it is handled in iOS right now, we need to consolidate.
> Summary:
> 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 *all* launches, the handleOpenURL function is called, 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)
> Apple Doc reference: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/AdvancedAppTricks/AdvancedAppTricks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007072-CH7-SW21
> Recommend sticking to handleOpenURL only, deprecate window.invokeString
