Launching Viber app via URL scheme on iOS

问题

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.

回答1:

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 url to forward a message: https://www.viber.com/en/developers/share_on_viber you can specify the text but not the recipient

Example:

viber://forward?text=foo

as for now (26.03.2017), I found this URI are working:

viber://add?number=NUMBER - open user page
viber://forward?text=foo - share text with selected users
viber://chats - opens chat tab
viber://calls - opens calls tab
??? - can't find how to open user's/contacts tab
viber://public - opens a public tab
viber://more - open more tab (the last one in the row)

and some links to interact with Public Accounts https://developers.viber.com/tools/deep-links/index.html - viber://pa?chatURI=hello&context=abcdefg&text=hi - attempt to wrte hi to hello public account

support forum: https://support.viber.com/

and they have chrome extension - https://support.viber.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2191386-new-chrome-web-extension#top

I've found one way to "almost" call using Viber - by adding contact:

viber://add?number=0123456789

This will open Viber "Add Contact" dialog, and user can finally call expected number after adding it as a new contact.

Tested this on 5.6 Viber. Also works from HTML:

<a href="viber://add?number=%2B49150123456789">Viber me</a>

However, if contact doesn't exist, the first click would only open the Dialog, save new contact and go back to your application/page. Clicking the same link again will open directly contact view with Call out button

Cheers!

You could use this code to accomplish what you want:

NSString *phoneNumber = @"1112223333";
NSString * const viberScheme = @"viber://";
NSString * const tel = @"tel";
NSString * const chat = @"chat";
NSString *action = @"<user selection, chat or tel>"; // this could be @"chat" or @"tel" depending on the choice of the user

if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:viberScheme]]) {

    // viber is installed
    NSString *myString;
    if ([action isEqualToString:tel]) {
        myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@:%@", tel, phoneNumber];
    } else if ([action isEqualToString:chat]) {
        myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@:%@", chat, phoneNumber];
    }

    NSURL *myUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[viberScheme stringByAppendingString:myString]];

    if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:myUrl]) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:myUrl];
    } else {
        // wrong parameters
    }

} else {
    // viber is not installed
}

回答5:

viber://contact?number= mobile number

It will open the particular user contact. Give user to select chat and call.
it worked for me!

回答6:

This works: "viber://chats" or "viber://calls"

回答7:

For Swift, you can do like that :)

let viberShareUrl = "viber://forward?text=\(shareUrl)"
let url:NSURL =NSURL(string: viberShareUrl)!  
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url)

回答8:

This points to the contact page

viber://contact?number=38095xxxxxxx

IMPORTANT: Don't put + at the beginning of the number, it won't work otherwise

回答9:

You can check by using

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:@"viber://url"];

if Viber app is installed on device, and viber handle this url scheme it will return true otherwise false.
