you need to use this function in your appDelegate

func application(_ application: UIApplication, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity,
                     restorationHandler: @escaping ([UIUserActivityRestoring]?) -> Void) -> Bool {
        if let incomingURL = userActivity.webpageURL {
           print(incomingURL)
        }

I just found a solution here: application(...continue userActivity...) method not called in ios 13

The trick is to also implement the SceneDelegate.swift functions for Apps with iOS > 13. This function should be called if you open the URL confirmevent://HelloWorld:

func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set<UIOpenURLContext>) {
    print(URLContexts.debugDescription)
}
