URLs with trailing slashes open in internal browser or fail to trigger the app #844

Description:
I am reporting an issue with how Piko handles specific URLs. When a URL contains a trailing slash, it does not behave as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Tap a URL with a trailing slash, for example: https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/
  2. Observe the behavior when Piko is running in the background vs. when it is completely closed.

Actual Behavior:

  • The link opens in Piko's internal browser instead of the native profile view.
  • If Piko is not running in the background, the app fails to open entirely when tapping the link.

Additional Findings:
Based on my testing, removing the trailing slash (the / at the end) resolves the issue, and the link opens correctly within the app.

Question:
Is this an intended specification or a bug? If it is a bug, could you please look into a fix?

Example URL:
https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/ (Fails)
https://x.com/realDonaldTrump (Works)
