Tests if the given URL/URI can be opened by the current device.
If yes, the first output is triggered.
If not, the second output is triggered.
If there's an error in testing the URL, the third output is triggered.
Note that on iOS, you need to define the potential URL/URI schemes your app might use explicity in the Application query schemes section of your app's Build Settings. Otherwise, the flow function will report that the URL/URI cannot be opened even if a suitable app exists on the device.
