Electron.NET version: 9.31.2
Target platform: MacOS

I need to handle the login token from the custom protocol (MyApp://) but I am unable to handle the passed arguments to the app. I have successfully registered the application as a protocol hander and it gets launched/opened in the app directly from safari by using :
await Electron.App.SetAsDefaultProtocolClientAsync("MyApp");
and setting it in-app plist (As documented).

But I don't know how to handle the passed URL. I can't do that by listening to IRC event (as documented in Electron documentation in handling the custom protocol on MacOS):
Electron.IpcMain.On("open-url", Handleprotocol());
The app gets opened/resumed when requested in safari but nothing happens. The IPC message is not published.

Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong ? cant seem to find anything similar in samples or around the net specifically for Electron.NET.
