why flutter give me url null in url launcher?

Question

ElevatedButton(
  onPressed: () async {
    const url ='https://www.facebook.com';

    if (await canLaunch(url)) {
      await launch(url,forceWebView: true,enableJavaScript: true);
    } else {
      // can't launch url
    }
  },
);

I/UrlLauncher( 7566): component name for https://www.facebook.com is null

if I'm not mistaken, it happens on Android 11 and MacOS Bigsur — Quang Huy, Apr 04 '22 at 02:43

Add the queries for each platform, follow the documentation in this link URL Launcher API Reference

iOS Add any URL schemes passed to canLaunchUrl as LSApplicationQueriesSchemes entries in your Info.plist file.

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
  <string>https</string>
  <string>http</string>
</array>

Android Starting from API 30 Android requires package visibility configuration in your AndroidManifest.xml otherwise canLaunchUrl will return false. A element must be added to your manifest as a child of the root element.

<queries>
  <!-- If your app opens https URLs -->
  <intent>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <data android:scheme="https" />
  </intent>
  <!-- If your app makes calls -->
  <intent>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL" />
    <data android:scheme="tel" />
  </intent>
  <!-- If your sends SMS messages -->
  <intent>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
    <data android:scheme="smsto" />
  </intent>
  <!-- If your app sends emails -->
  <intent>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
    <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
  </intent>
</queries>

This works for me!
