Apple did introduce some restrictions around these URL calls in iOS 9. The plist registrations you mentioned should cover everything though.

The 'error: "(null)"' messages can be ignored. Those are essentially just noise, as there are no actual errors being reported.

The 'This app is not allowed to query for scheme' error looks real though. To start looking into that, can you share the actual snippets from your plist file with the URL scheme registrations? 

Also, just to be clear, does it fail in that "openURL" in your app is never called, so it can never import the file?
