launch static method

@Deprecated('Use launchAction instead for more control and explicit launch types.' 'The context parameter is now required for multi-choice dialogs.') Future<bool> launch(BuildContext context, Uri uri, { List<String>? allowedSchemes, LaunchMode mode = LaunchMode.platformDefault, LaunchOptions? options, })

Launches the given uri using the system's preferred method.

This method is deprecated. Please use launchAction for more control over launch types and fallback mechanisms.

uri - The URI to be launched. allowedSchemes - An optional list of allowed URL schemes for security. mode - How the URL should be opened (e.g., in-app, system browser).

Returns true if successfully launched, false otherwise.
