Protocol Launcher

iCab Mobile ​

iCab Mobile is a web browser for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate deep links to open URLs, add bookmarks, and search in iCab Mobile.

Usage ​

There are two ways to use this library:

  • On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
  • Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.

Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.
