[Feedback Stable] : Clicking Youtube links does not open Youtube app

Project Member Reported by jainabhi...@chromium.org, Jun 30 2017 
Product Version 59.0.3071.84, 59.0.3071.102
OS : iOS 10

Reports from user feedback
1. Until about a week ago, when I opened youtube links saved in my bookmarks, it opened the youtube app. Now, that doesn't happen.
2. Lost function to launch YouTube app through chrome. YouTube isn't showing up in the apps list
3. The Google Chrome app does not open the YouTube app when I tap on a youtube.com url. Instead, it just goes to www.youtube.com / ... in the Google Chrome app.
4. Clicking on youtube links won't take me to the youtube app

Please change component in case it is not right.

That is probably the result of http://crbug/710069 which stopped supporting Chrome-initiated launching of YouTube app from YouTube.com links. This was done to not interfere with iOS Universal Links. The side-effect of this is that YouTube.com links in Bookmarks are now launching the web site.

It's debatable whether URLs saved in Bookmarks should launch the page in the browser or launch an app.

+ a few more people for consideration, however, I don't know if it would be easy to make bookmarked links launch an app.
