Is there an iphone url scheme to start a web app in standalone mode from a link

Question

What I\'m trying to do is this:

• I\'ve got a web app the user can choose to add to the homescreen and run in standalone mode.
• Sometimes the server side

Answer 1

not from an SMS I don't think - but you could look at push notifications which can be sent from your server. I haven't used them yet, but the way I understand it you can send a notification from your server and link it to the app.

sorry, thats probably a better link

Answer 2

iOS does not implement a url scheme for launching browser based (ie. web apps) in standalone mode. ... But apple should though :) Apple implements parsing of urls to youtube.com and redirects them to the video app.

If they store the URL to the app placed on the home screen it would be a simple task to redirect links to that app.
