URL Scheme for Linkedin

Question

I\'m having an ios App. I\'m able to open the linked native app from my ios App using the custom url scheme \"linkedin://\". But how to post a link to the linkedin native ap

Answer 1

If you get LinkedIn profile via LinkedIn REST API, then you can find publicProfileUrl field in JSON:

{ 
  ...
  "publicProfileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugene-brusov"
  ...
}

Then this line of code:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugene-brusov"]];

redirects you to target profile opened in the native LinkedIn app if it's installed or to the profile opened in iOS default browser.

Tested on iOS 10.0.2 and 11.0.1.
