I have the following code for opening Skobbler at specified location:
- (void)openSkobblerWithLatitude:(double)latitude longitude:(double)longitude {
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:
#"hybridnavigation://cmd=mapOverview&latitude=%f&longitude=%f",
latitude,
longitude]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
}
It opens Skobbler, but the location is completely ignored. Is there something wrong with the URL or is this simply a bug in Skobbler?
Link for downloading Skobbler:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gps-navigation-sat-nav/id370144231?mt=8
EDIT: This is what the final URL looks like:
"hybridnavigation://cmd=mapOverview&latitude=49.010066&longitude=8.396355"
I contacted skobbler's support and they confirmed that this is a bug on their side:
The command line integration does not work with the current version of the app. This problem will be fixed with the upcoming update. (At the moment, I cannot tell you an exact release date.)

How can I add transport type when showing Directions on map
I have used this code so far, but it is showing Walking distance on map
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%f,%f"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:URL];
You can add one extra param directionsmode for different direction mode like below :
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%f,%f&directionsmode=transit"];
There are many types of direction mode :
driving
transit
bicycling
walking
Also you can use URLSchema for open app with schema like below Google Map Guide
Google Map URLSchema Guide : https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/urlscheme
We are using the HERE URL Scheme to pass coordinates. E.g. here-place://{lat},{lng}
NSString *mapDirHere = [[NSString stringWithFormat:#"here-route://%1.6f,%1.6f,%#/%1.6f,%1.6f,%#", latitude, longitude, NSLocalizedString(#"Current Location", nil), self.selectedCoordinate.latitude, self.selectedCoordinate.longitude, self.titleName] stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:mapDirHere]];
This does open HERE with the correct route, but the "Start" button is never activated, so our users can't start the route.
Has anyone else seen this?
The HERE iOS SDK comes with an example for starting and stopping navigation as you would like to implement in your use case.
https://github.com/heremaps/here-ios-sdk-examples/tree/master/turn-by-turn-navigation-ios-swift
All examples are updated with every update of the SDK so check them out at:

I am facing an issue while dialing a call as it is automatically assigning international or local prefixes when making calls for toll free local numbers Which starts with one to ISD
NSString *phNo = #"18605003000";
NSURL *phoneUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"tel:%#",phNo]];
NSLog(#"in call");
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:phoneUrl]) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:phoneUrl];
}
For above code, when Dail assist is ON, it is prefixing number and converting with +1 (860) 500-3000 which is actually a Indian toll free redirecting to ISD to call ..To avoid this I want to check whether Dail assist is ON or way to disable this programatically.
I have even referred this iOS dial assist auto formats local number to USA number but this way it is Dailing to wrong number
So can any please suggest me for possible way?
I tried the code, and had the dial assist on, but it dialed "18005003000" and did not converted to +1 (800) 500-3000
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"tel://18005003000"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
I found a few questions on SO and even with answers but not one of them helped me solve the problem.

I tried to import it when it's local file:
NSString * path = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
path = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"appointment.ics"];
NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:targetURL];
and from external url:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://mysite.com/appointment.ics"]];
and load directly to UIWebView but all failed. Tried both in simulator (which doesn't have Calendar app) and on device. When tried open external URL I was getting an alert "Impossible to subscribe... something blahblah"
Can anyone give me a clue if it's possible at all? Apple announced iOS 4.2 was going to support this stuff.
I'm using google maps to get directions from one place to another. Here is the code
NSString *mapAPIString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%f,%f&daddr=%f,%f",
sourceAddress.coordiate.latitude,
sourceAddress.coordiate.longitude,
destAddress.coordiate.latitude,
destAddress.coordiate.longitude,
];
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:mapAPIString];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
The code works perfect. But both addresses are marked as 'Unknown address' in iOS Map App. Is it possible to add custom title for each address ?
iOS 6 is still under NDA, but if you have access to the docs have a look at them and you will probably find useful information for this problem.
