I'm trying to open the podcast app with a url like this

- (void)setupPodcast { NSLog(@"setup podcast"); NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"pcast://podcasts.sdxme.org/RSS/default.aspx?ID=%ld", (long)[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"CustomerID"]]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:str]]; }

2015-10-18 23:45:11.367 [29302:1691034] LaunchServices: ERROR: There is no registered handler for URL scheme pcast

However it looks like the pcast scheme is no longer supported? How can I open my own XML feed in the podcast app?

As per Swift 4,

We should use the below url schemes to open podcasts app from our app.

  1. Podcasts (Add Feed By URL) — podcast:// (you can also add a feed URL after to auto-populate it)

  2. Podcasts (Browse) — pcast:// or itms-pcast:// or itms-pcasts:// or podcasts:// or itms-podcast:// or itms-podcasts:// (displays a "can't connect" error)

I am able to get it to open macOS podcasts only with pcast or podcasts, but do you know how to have it prompt the user to subscribe to a feed?
Thanks, this works great for opening and prepolutating the feed url on both MacOS 12 and iOS 16: podcast://example.com/feed.xml

MacOS Majave needs pcast:// IOS podcast://

I believe Apple changed their recognized podcast scheme and you should now use 'feed://...'.

Its looks like feed opens up the news app, and pcast opens up the podcast app, but only on the device with the podcast app installed. not on the simulator.
