  This specific case is more of an artifact of iOS's inability to handle multiple apps declaring the same URI launch scheme cleanly than a problem with Gmail on iOS, in my opinion. Picking a default handler for a given scheme seems like a problem best solved at the OS level, and I don't even know how an app developer would be able to fix that.

    As Apple has been steering people away from custom URI schemes, I doubt they will ever support platform-level dialogs for the user to select an app or a system wide 'open in' default. Coincidentally, the methods used for this today in macOS (in apps that prompt to set themselves as the defaults, or populate a drop-down) are deprecated.
