My Iphone app needs to open the google maps application to use the StreetView and the directions mode.
All works fine,But my question is, is there any way of adding a button or something to go back to my app?. I have seen that with UIWebViews maybe thats the only solution..
Thanks in advance
My answer comes from this documentation: Google Maps SDK for iOS, Google Maps URL Scheme
You may add a back button if you register a custom URL scheme for your app and use the comgooglemaps-x-callback:// url scheme to launch the Google Maps iOS app.
Here is a great tutorial for iOS Custom URL Schemes.
The following string would open Google Maps with directions to JFK airport and would add a button in Google Maps with the title "AirApp".
Touching that button would call the custom url scheme sourceapp:// which you would set up by following the tutorial I linked to above.
#"comgooglemaps-x-callback://?daddr=John+F.+Kennedy+International+Airport,+Van+Wyck+Expressway,+Jamaica,+New+York&x-success=sourceapp://?resume=true&x-source=AirApp"

Problem:
I want to hide the url that is shown in the WebViews when logging in using ADB2C in iOS.
Platform: React Native
library: react-native-msal
The Url Shown in red
Things I tried: I tried changing the parameters
ios_webviewType?: Ios_MSALWebviewType;
and
ios_presentationStyle?: Ios_ModalPresentationStyle;
But did not find a way to hide the URL.
(Even though wkwebiew hid the url, Google does not support it)
Expected Result: The WebViews should open for selection of account without any url in the top.
Please let me know if any more information is needed. Thank you.
It’s not possible with the type of web view google requires in iOS.
Is there a way to launch Google Maps app on iOS with multiple stops using Google Maps URL Scheme?
Well we need to append to: parameter for each location. The url scheme will be as follows:
from your current location
comgooglemaps://?daddr=Lat,Lon+to:Lat,Lon+to:Lat,Lon+to:...
if you have source location
comgooglemaps://?saddr=Lat,Lon&daddr=Lat,Lon+to:Lat,Lon+to:Lat,Lon+to:...
Hi I have a requirement in my app. From my ios Application(myapp),i share a link to facebook. Then I opened up my facebook account in browser or Facebook application and clicked the link, link should open in myapp if myapp is installed in the device otherwise link should open in browser. How can I achieve this ? Please suggest me step by step. Thanks in advance for your consideration and help.
I am not sure if this is possible. I have looked at various questions including
Is it possible to register a http+domain-based URL Scheme for iPhone apps, like YouTube and Maps?
as I am sure you might have already done but these questions target their own app, mainly web app, but you want that behavior to occur from an app that is not yours like twitter or facebook. But what you can do is show them two links on facebook/twitter, if they have installed press link 1 and if they want to install, press link 2 and you can pass parameters in link 1 as you might already know.
I will also keep checking answer of this question if some one comes and gives a better solution.
There is an option called custom URL scheme in iOS. It will help you to create a URL scheme which identifies your application. You can post link with this URL scheme and when you tap on this link on your iOS device it will open up your mobile app. Please see the link below to know how to setup this.
Custom URL Scheme in iOS
This is called 'deep URL linking'. Facebook have built a service called 'App Links', which seems pretty cool.

I have a google map that I created with KML:
Here is a link to the map:
http://goo.gl/maps/dkfjU
Here is the complete KML file:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/94943007/02bb39645a3c9d95afeed5cb9bd5d07c040d8ca8a4ee56b9fb367d38.kml
When browsing this map with my IPAD using safari, for some reason when I tap anywhere on the map, it creates a point there on the map.
How do I disable point creation on the map so that IPAD users are not able to do this?
I checked the link as well and Marcelo seems to be correct. To have a maps with the ability to turn on and off layers you will need to build your own site and perhaps use Javascript and the Google-maps API to build it. Maybe start here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial
You cannot disable adding a place mark if you are browsing the map in safari
You can control it if you use map kit iOS API of the iOS SDK.
For importing KML-Data into that SDK, you can use Sample Code from
Apple:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/KMLViewer/Introduction/Intro.html
But there is no built-in KML Import in iOS SDK. You can use other
frameworks as mapbox/Simple-KML here
https://github.com/mapbox/Simple-KML
If you want to do this in safari, then you're lost, unless you can manipulate that using JavaScript!!!
I know the available custom URL schemes for the native Facebook iPhone App:
What are all the custom URL schemes supported by the Facebook iPhone app?
But I can't find a way to publish a URL to my wall / timeline in that way, that Facebook collects / shows the site title and thumbnail as it does with the touch.facebook.com/sharer.php file.
The only way I see so far is to call
fb://publish/?text=www.domain.com
but this only post the link to my timeline, not title, thumbnail and site description.
Does anyone know a better way?
Basically you have two options:
You can either launch Safari using the Feed Dialog URL Scheme as explained here or use Facebook SDK as explained here.
If your App isn't integrated with Facebook already, it's probably easier to go with the first one.
