IonicDeepLinkPlugin does not fire deeplink event for JS

I am embedding deep linking in ionic mode, works fine in Android, but does not send JS url on IOS. The plugin is able to open the application, but the function is handleOpenURL

never called.

When I click the link to the debug log:

IonicDeepLinkPlugin: Handle continueUserActivity (internal) 
https://www.example.com

      

        
        
        
      

    

My versions:

Cordova CLI: 6.5.0
Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.3
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.2.1
ios-deploy version: 1.9.1
ios-sim version: 5.0.13
OS: macOS Sierra
Node Version: v6.10.0
Xcode version: Xcode 8.3.2 Build version 8E2002

      

        
        
        
      

    

Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
