How to programmatically register a custom URL scheme?

Question

Is it possible to add/remove custom URL schemes for my application while it\'s running? Right now the CFBundleURLSchemes property is set in Info.plist.

Answer 1

According to this discussion on Cocoa Dev the answer is no, custom URL schemes can't be registered programmatically. You must specify them in Info.plist. (but using LSRegisterURL, you can ask Launch Services to reload your application's Info.plist if you programmatically change it. But that's ugly.).
