Application.OpenURL(url) causes crash on UWP

UWP build crashes when calling OpenURL, though the web page is loaded in the browser successfully. I can't see any debugging info showing why this happens. Not specific to the URL: https://www.google.com triggers it as well.

 

I'm not the OP, but I have the same problem. Pretty simple, just an "Application.OpenURL(url)" call and it will open the browser, but it does then crash the game completely without a stack trace being sent through to the Unity logger (nothing in the UnityPlayer.log). I ran it through Visual Studio, and I am getting this as output when it crashes on my Windows 10 Pro development machine with OS build 19041.804. Project was built with Unity 2021.1.4f1

FWIW, since I already was using the WSANative package, I switched to using "WSANativeLauncher.LaunchUri(url);" for UWP, and that works great with no problems at all. Clearly there is a bug in Unity causing this crash, which seems to be around trying to release an invalid reference.

 

Yes, last time I was testing it. Could submit as a bug but tbh not had the time. Just make a simple app with a button calling OpenURL. Crashes every time, no matter what the URL.

 

I'm running into this as well. Any info when it will be resolved?

 

I tried to make a test project, but it doesn't seem to crash there.

 

I am also experiencing this error when testing on a TOUGHPAD. The app will take me to the link, but then crashes when I try to return to the application. I'm on Unity v2020.3.15f1.

 

(Case 1382236) - Application.OpenURL(url) causes crash on UWP opened up as we are also getting this

 

What could be another possible workaround with this?? System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() doesnt seem to work either...

 

Okok. I'm trying with this:

Code (CSharp):

1. #if (ENABLE_WINMD_SUPPORT || UNITY_WSA || UNITY_WSA_10_0)
2. using System;
3. using System.Threading.Tasks;
4. using UnityEngine;
5.  
6. namespace Util
7. {
8.     public static class UWPStartUriProcess
9.     {      
10.         public static async Task Start(string URL)
11.         {
12.             try
13.             {
14.                 var options = new Windows.System.LauncherOptions();
15.                 options.TreatAsUntrusted = true;
16.                 var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(URL, options);
17.  
18.                 if (success)
19.                 {
20.                     Debug.LogError("Opened - " + URL);
21.                 }
22.                 else
23.                 {
24.                     Debug.LogError("Failed to open - " + URL);
25.                 }
26.             }
27.             catch (Exception e)
28.             {
29.                 UnityEngine.Debug.LogError("Failed to open URL: " + e);
30.             }                    
31.         }    
32.     }
33. }
34. #endif

I get the following error when building UWP: Assets\Scripts\Utils\UWPStartUriProcess.cs(14,72): error CS1503: Argument 1: cannot convert from 'string' to 'System.Uri'

Do you know what could be going on?

 

Can I ask from where did you get that WSANative package?

 

@AlfEspinosaN I think he's referring to this asset
