Now i understand.

The custom url scheme settings in the standalone builder is for the ios app itself, not for other apps on the iOS device.

I just did a short test with mergPopActivity. I am able to send/share the .caf file located in the documents folder with Telegram, Signal and other apps installed on my iPhone, but not with messages.

But i was able  to copy the file to the clipboard using mergPopActivity and then to paste it into Messages. 

Seems Messages does not support the .caf file type.

I used this code for my test
   mergPopActivity "Share with...","" ,"file:"&the documents folder &"/output.caf"
