Is there a way to stop system.perspective.navigate to not leave the app when called with a url? It is currently sending the user to the browser on the device. We are trying to switch to a different gateway with a different project.

Are you trying to navigate to a page within the app or is it a URL outside of Perspective?

It is a URL to the same project but on a different gateway.

For example:  
from [https://myDevServer.com/data/perspective/client/ProjectSelector](https://myDevServer.com/data/perspective/client/ProjectSelector)  
to [https://myTestServer.com/data/perspective/client/ProjectSelector](https://myTestServer.com/data/perspective/client/ProjectSelector)

Not sure if the app currently supports [deep linking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_linking), but if they do maybe you could use a url something like ignitionperspective://myDevServer.com/data/perspective/client/ProjectSelector to open a link in the app.

Potentially someone on the native mobile app side could speak to this?
