Integrate Whatsapp URL Scheme into an app - hyperlink

Hello Folks at Stack Overflow from all over the world! Hope you're all doing pretty well! I have a quick question to ask. Has any of you found out or knows about a workaround to get a Whatsapp URL scheme to open a screen to draft a custom message and specifying a custom contact as well. I have already read the documentation on the Whatsapp website using the abid (Address Book ID) or text parameter but this does not lead me anywhere. if we want to send a custom email for instance we simply use:
E-mail
Is there such a workaround with Whatsapp Messeger?
Any feedback on this will be greatly appreciated folks. Thank you.

I cant provide a solution for this problem, but I think, https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/iphone/23559013 as it describe the Whatsapp API.

Share link/text to Instagram Direct Message on iOS

I cannot find any API for sharing text/links to Instagram DM on iOS. I've seen posts that asked similar questions but haven't seen anyone with an answer so I figured I would ask again here. I've seen apps like Spotify able to share an album to Instagram Direct with the link prefilled as message so it's definitely feasible. So just wondering if anyone knows how to get the URL scheme for instagram direct. thanks!

send individual invite with dialog for Native iOS app via Facebook

I want to send individual invite to friends from my Native iOS app, through Facebook. It should contain Link and pre-filled invite message..Is it possible? What is the better approach. I referred FBAppInvite and FBSDKMessageDialog tutorial on https://developers.facebook.com/ , could not find anything which fulfils my requirement.
Can any one suggest some approach how to implement this?. I have not worked much on using social frameworks. Facebook implementation steps are not clear. I searched for demo or sample project on this, but could not find clear documents. Thanks in advance.

But, you can find the information you're looking for at the links below.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/share
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/ui-controls
Basically, if your user is logged in on your app with Facebook, then you have a few more tools/options to use to accomplish your task.
If your user is not logged in on your app with Facebook, then it is much more restricted.

Sending SMS in lua files

I am trying to send a SMS from a lua script.
I researched and found the native.showPopup, but I want to send the SMS from the app itself, not composing it!
Can you help me?
thanks.
Try
url = "sms:1-234-456-6789?body=Hello%2C%20World!"
system.openURL(url)
The current system.openURL() docs in Corona Labs doesn't mention "sms" as valid URL type but I've seen this mentioned elsewhere.
There is no way to do this. You might be able to do it with Corona native which is free now.

feedback form in iOS app - allowed?

Would anyone one know if Apple has restrictions on providing a user feedback/bug report form within an app? I've searched around but haven't found anything very clear. Might seem a dumb question but I don't want to waste time on it if it is not allowed.
Also, assuming it is allowed - I guess I would do it through a server-based php script, rather than trying to wire it up through the user's email. I am not trying to capture the user's email or anything like that - just feedback/bug responses.
Cheers!
I believe companies like Uservoice and GetSatisfaction have mobile sdks for submitting feedback about apps.
Uservoice lets people submit anonymously, GetSatisfaction requires an account.
You can do this however you would like, lots of apps support emailing feedback but if you prefer to put in the work you could also do custom fields and have it simply send the response back through your own server.
Yes, it's allowed, and there's nothing to stop you doing it through email either - what is the difference between emailing a bug report using MFMailComposeViewController and emailing anything else?
