Ventura — changing a URL scheme handler has no effect

[icanzilb]

I've added a new app to the list of apps to handle a given URL scheme and I got the alert box saying the handler for that URL scheme was successfully changed. The list looks a bit awkward, adding it here for completeness:

However, opening a URL with the given scheme from Terminal does not use the newly set default app.

I'm not sure if that's a bug due to the UI glitch or is the preference pane just not working on Ventura?

CLI similarly doesn't work in Ventura. Setting the default handler for a URL scheme doesn't stick. It reverts after a few seconds.

% swda setHandler --URL tel --app /Applications/RingCentral.app
SwiftDefaultApps SUCCESS: Default handler has succesfully changed to com.ringcentral.glip
% swda getHandler --URL tel                                    
/System/Applications/FaceTime.app

This might be fixed by replacing the deprecated LaunchServices methods for the new NSWorkspace api, which is a WIP.
