Thanks Jonas! That's helpful, and I'm able to reproduce the issue now. 

The issue is that the "-[DBDemo.ViewController handleDidLinkNotification:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance ..." error occurs inside openURL, causing the openURL operation to itself report the "unsupported URL" error. 

The actual issue is that in your code, DBDemo.ViewController doesn't actually implement handleDidLinkNotification. You have that defined only inside viewDidLoad. If you move that outside viewDidLoad, both issues no longer occur.
