swift - Support URL schemes in macOS application

Question

There are several (old) questions on this subject, but none of the solutions worked for me, so here's the question: How to add a URL scheme, so it will be possible to open my app via the browser?

I did the following:

1. Added the required info to the info.plist:

2. I Added those functions:

func applicationWillFinishLaunching(_ notification: Notification) {
     NSAppleEventManager.shared().setEventHandler(self, andSelector: #selector(handleEvent(_:with:)), forEventClass: AEEventClass(kInternetEventClass), andEventID: AEEventID(kAEGetURL))
}

@objc func handleEvent(_ event: NSAppleEventDescriptor, with replyEvent: NSAppleEventDescriptor) {
     NSLog("at handleEvent")
}

3. I also tried to add this function:

func application(_ application: NSApplication, open urls: [URL]) {
    for url in urls {
        NSLog("url:(url)")
    }
}

None of the above worked. I have a webpage that redirect with MyAppLogin://test but nothing happens. It doesn't matter if the app is open or closed (I want it to work in both cases)

Any idea what's the problem here?

Edit: Two more details:

1. The app is sandboxed
2. I'm running it via Xcode (so the installation is not at the 'Applications' folder)
