Description It is not always desirable for a hosting app to permit navigation from within SFSafariViewController to exit the hosting app via a deeplink to an external app. And even when it is, it's important to know that it's happening for metrics tracking. Provide a hook for hosting app to allow or deny following a deep link that takes the user out of the hosting app. Steps to Reproduce Launch a web browsing session using SFSafariViewController. Use a URL that represents a web page containing a deep link to a different app. Tap link. Expected Results Inform hosting app that user is attempted a deep link to another app. Ideally, provide the URL and the name of the external app. Allow hosting app to confirm or deny. Actual Results Control is immediately transferred to external app. All that hosting app knows is that hosting app was backgrounded, but not why. Configuration iPhone & iPad Version iOS 10.2
