Yes, You Can do this Using :
If you have your application URLthen.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:

Launching the App Store from an iPhone application

In iOS6 there is the new SKStoreProductViewController http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/StoreKit/Reference/SKITunesProductViewController_Ref/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011852
Use the itms-apps: or itms-appss: URL scheme.

I going to be submitting an app to the IOS App Store soon and I'm wondering if my app contains encryption? I used a [[UIApplication sharedApplication openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#""]]. That code does go out to a secure payment site. Does my app contain encryption?
NO, it doens't.
With that code you are just going out of the app opening a link.
So, it doesn't touch your app.
What I want to do is open any iOS Application (Evernote, safari, Facebook, etc) from my own iOS application. For example, I have created my app with two simple buttons, the first one is named "Evernote" and the second one is named "Safari", so when I click on the "Evernote" button I want that the Evernote App launch on my iOS device, the same when I click on the "Safari" button I want that the button opens my Safari App. How can I do that? It is that possible? If it is, please tell me how. Thank you very much.
yes it possible if you known this app scheme reference URL.
Example call Tel app:
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tel://"]]){
NSString *tell = [#"tel://" stringByAppendingString:phoneNumber];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:tell]];
}
Safari and other is same way.

If you need to open external apps from your app then follow the above link. Or if you need to open the iOS native apps like phone, mail, safari, etc, you can use URL schemes for opening the app.
I am using iCloud for core data. if user is not logged in on iCloud i want to take him to setting page, is it possible in ios.
Thanks
If you are writing app for iOS < 5.1 then you can use custom URL schemes - find list here.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: myUrlString ]]; //find myUrlString in link above
But this feature was removed in iOS 5.1 and most likely won't available in the feature
An old post discussed how to send iPhone app users to an app store review page directly
However, the link template:
https://userpub.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZUserPublishing.woa/wa/addUserReview?id=337064413&type=Purple+Software
is no longer works in iOS 4.3. Does any know how to link user to the review page in iTunes directly?
Try this
NSString *str = #"itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=337064413"; //replace the id param's value with your App's id
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:str]];
Also works with PhoneGap/Cordova:
"itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=337064413";
or
"http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=1&type=Purple+Software&mt=8&id=337064413"
replace the id param's value with your App's id
Now that Cordova/PhoneGap uses the plugin InAppBrowser for links, the correct syntax is:
window.open("itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scorekeepr-free/id490888743?ls=1&mt=8","_system");
This was tested in a real app with Cordova-iOS 2.3.0rc2 on an iPad running iOS 5.1
Is there any URL scheme that will launch the Calendar app on iOS?
I use Prowl to push Growl notifications to my phone. They just added support to launch an app with a URL based on the notification. I tried cal:// caldav:// and ical:// without any luck.
Try this. it works for me. Here is the link
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: #"calshow://"]];
Update: you can now use the calshow:// URL to open the Calendar app on iOS.
See this question: Apple does not list this application on its Apple URL Scheme Reference.
