I am trying to figure out the URL name for MobileIron Web#Work in order to launch it from another app. For most apps you can type in "appname://" in safari and it will prompt to launch the application. For example, typing in "googlechrome://" in safari will prompt to launch in "Chrome".
I can't seem to figure out what the url name is for the MobileIron Web#Work app. Please help.
Thanks.
You could use "mibrowser://" and "mibrowsers://" schemes to open HTTP and HTTPS links respectively in iOS W#W. And you could use "mibrowserf://" and "mibrowsersf://" schemes to open HTTP and HTTPS links in iOS W#W in a full screen mode.
Please try this one: "appconnect://"
I was able to figure it out using mibrowser://.

I've been facing issue setting up deeplinking with react native for IOS with react navigation 5.
When i try the URL scheme of myownapp://homepage/ it opens up the app.
But if i try with url : https://dev.myownapp.com/homepage/ it opens up the safari browser, but it doesnt open up the app.
I've tried with the documentation by adding Appropriate code in AppDelegate.m file and also ive added myownapp.com in the Associated Domains in Xcode.
Can you guys brief about what configuration is left to be done because the same opens in android. Thanks in Advance
Can you reach https://dev.myownapp.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association or https://dev.myownapp.com/apple-app-site-association yet?
If you can't, please host the file on the servers you want to be supported universal link.
So to make it work:
You need to setup your app to be supported wildcard domain by set applinks:*.myownapp.com.
You also need to host the config file (apple-app-site-association) to all the sub-domains, it means you're able to reach:
https://sub1.myownapp.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
https://sub2.myownapp.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
....
Another thing you should notice that all your domains must be supported secure connection (https).
I wanted, to give some identifier to the app that we create like a kiosk mode in iOS.
i.e. We make add to home screen and it has an icon on home page which browse further.
Is there any way, where I can give some identifier Name to that link of app getting created so that we can get that app access from our Native and we can provide URL Scheme for the same.
Thanks.
iOS will not give access of all the url schemas. You can refer this document where the url schemas for selected application is given :

It may be that the only way you can achieve what you want to do is to build an app around an iOS UIWebView. You can then include the camera functionality directly in the app, although there can be issues as a UIWebview doesn't handle things like popups that Safari does.
Does anyone know what the custom URL scheme is to open a Facebook page in their new iOS app. I was using fb://page/PAGE_ID however this doesn't seem to be working in the recently updated Facebook iOS app, it just opens the app but doesn't go to the required page.
I got this answer at developer.facebook.com:
Replace the word page with profile and it will work. Your new statement will be:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"fb://profile/247377102029332"]];
Use https://graph.facebook.com/YOUR_USERNAME to get your page ID.
In your iOS app use: fb://profile/[your ID] and the facebook app will open to your page.
The URL scheme for the iOS Facebook application is:
fb://profile/(fbid)
Same problem here. fb://page/PAGE_ID is not working anymore.
Note that fb://profile/(fbid) wasn't working properly on Facebook 4.x returning a "corrupted" page in both iPad and iPhone. Instead, fb://profile/(fbid)/wall in Facebook 4.x worked well when using an iPad but didn't work with an iPhone.
fb://page/PAGE_ID was the only option that worked on both iPhone and iPad, based on my experience.
I used to use http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes as reference, but it's currently down...
A custom URL scheme is a mechanism through which third-party apps can communicate with each other. It doesn't allow you the provision to open a page in that particular application. It just fires an event to bring the called Application to the foreground. Going through this documentation would further clear your doubts.
The new Facebook app is built using Objective-C as against previous once in HTML5 which used to support URL scheme mechanism. This link gives a hint on that.

I am trying to detect if my ipad app is installed on a device when visiting my website, in order to suggest different action to the visitor.
Thanks to this post :

I found that the "store" application on iphone seems to have achieve to detect if the app is installed on the device. When you click on store links, it launch the app instead of going to the mobile web version.
For example, if you go to :
http://store.apple.com/xc/anythinghere
with an iphone on which apple store app is installed ( http://itunes.apple.com/app/id375380948 )
it automatically start the store app, instead of the web page.
I tried to follow the stack call with mitmproxy but safari doesn't seems to ask query before launching the app.
So, I guess they did custom url scheme recognition, with http:// links.
Do you think it is possible?
This is done with URL protocol handlers:
http://www.iphonedevfaq.com/index.php?title=URL_schemes#URL_Protocol_Handlers
You cannot detect if an app is installed from HTML, but you can launch an app. For example, the popular game "Doodle Jump" can be launched by going to doodlejump://, but if you don't have it installed, the link won't work. As mentioned, this is done with a custom URL scheme and needs to be coded into your app.
I have the following URL which links to the product page of a Mac app. I'd like to provide this URL inside my iPhone app. However, it always launches the App Store and subsequently can't display the product because it's not an iOS app. How would I tell it to open in Safari? Is this even possible?
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/appname/idxxxxxxxxx
Haven't found an answer, so opted for directing to Appshoper URL instead.
