When working with iOS, `NSWorkspace.shared()` should be `UIApplication.shared` — Ahmad F, Apr 01 '17 at 14:34

You are trying to add a code for macOS coding for iOS. When coding for iOS you have to use UIApplication.shared

if let url = URL(string: "https://google.com"), UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) { 
    UIApplication.shared.open(url) 
}
