I managed to get this working. https://gist.github.com/nathankerr/38d8b0d45590741b57f5f79be336f07c
I don't know what sort of app you are making, so I made a simple gui that displays the url received, with some filler text before any are. I think the non-ui parts should transfer to whatever you are doing. A few notes: - main.go lines 3-8 (cgo and import C) are important. They tell go how to build the c and obj-c parts. - after C.StartURLHandler is called, HandlerURL will be called. HandleURL needs to be non-blocking as it seems to block the whole UI, so put long-running stuff in another go routine. I had to buffer labelText so the a url received at the same time the app starts will not hang the program. - I had to put C.StartURLHandler before the ui.Main stuff so the first url would not be lost when the app is opened with `open myapp://whatever` and the app was not already running. - running `make` will setup the app, including building it. You will need to `go get -u github.com/andlabs/ui` before doing so. - You might need to change the url scheme to something else because you (presumably) already have an app that registers myapp. I didn't think of this earlier as I was trying to follow your question. - Before trying to open the url, open the app itself. This will register the url scheme with macOS. After doing so, the app will work if it is already running or not. - I was not able to get cmd-Q to close the app. Just click the close (red) button on the window. This seems to be a limit of the ui package. This worked for me using go1.8 on macOS 10.12.3 and the latest version of the ui package. Hope it helps you out.
