url-scheme

The following URL scheme was working on previous version but doesn't work anymore on iOS 9: comgooglemaps://?q=Google+Japan,+Minato,+Tokyo,+Japan&center=35.660888,139.73073&zoom=15&views=transit Did something change on iOS 9 that prevent apps from opening other apps using URL schemes? Janu Gandhi In iOS 9, Apple has made a change to the handling of URL schemes. Now you need to add "LSApplicationQueriesSchemes" key in plist and then add URLScheme you want to call. <key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key> <array> <string>comgooglemaps</string> </array> In iOS 9.0, further restrictions were placed

I'm making an iOS app which can open Viber app and automatically call a person or go to chat window with the person. Is there any url scheme for Viber to do that such as: viber://tel:<phone_number> viber://chat:<phone_number> I followed this link but it's for Android. I sent a mail to the Viber support and they told me that this kind of URL (opening Viber call/chat with a phone number) are no more supported. When typing Viber version is 5.6. Look at their answer: support@viber.com : "Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, there isn’t such option in Viber." The only thing I've found is an

I am using the Facebook SDK found here , and am trying the sample that is provided (in the folder FacebookiOSSample ). If I simply replace the AppId here with my specific AppId , then I can no longer Share. (I replaced it in both the AppDelegate file and the info.plist file). I now receive the following error: FBSDKLog: Invalid use of FBAppCall, fb**** is not registered as a URL Scheme. Did you set 'FacebookUrlSchemeSuffix' in your plist? Otherwise this works fine with the sample's original AppId which points to something named IFaceTouch . What could be wrong with the setup of my app, how do

I can't get the "prefs" URL Scheme to work in iOS 10 (Beta 1). It's set up correctly since the same App works fine on iOS 9. Is this a bug or did it get renamed / removed? Code: let settingsUrl = NSURL(string: "prefs:root=SOMETHING") if let url = settingsUrl { UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url) } Update: (Beta 2) Still not working in Beta 2. It seams to be an bug. For example if you want do invite someone using GameCenter in iOS 10 and you're not logged into iMessage, you'll get a popup asking you to log in. But the "Settings" button does absolutely nothing. Just replace prefs to

iTunes, App Store and YouTube on iOS clearly register http://... URL schemes to open their apps. Can anyone do that, not just your own protocol? The reason I want to do this is that I am working on an app for a festival. I want to "intercept" links to specific pages on the website and launch the app instead, if installed. So far I have no had much luck mckamey The way you can do this for "http://" URLs (and what I think Apple and Spotify do) this is to: Register a custom URL scheme like the other answers have shown . Set up your HTTP URL to point to a real webpage. Put a script on that page to

At one point in my app, I would like to redirect the user to the official Settings app. If possible, I also want go straight to the Network section within the Settings app. I think what I need is the Settings app's url scheme and the format to construct my request. But I doubt that calling such an official app is forbidden. Can anyone can help me? As noted in the comments below, this is no longer possible in iOS version 5.1 and after. If you are on iOS 5.0, the following applies: This is now possible in iOS 5 using the 'prefs:' url scheme. It works from a web page or from an app. example urls:
