Is there a way to create a link on a web page to launch the BlackBerry native version of the Foursquare app? I'd like to open a particular venue in the app, but I can't even find a way to cause the app to launch at all.
On Android and iOS there are URL schemes to accomplish this, like on this page:
https://developer.foursquare.com/resources/client
But, that page does not address web links from BlackBerry devices. In particular, I'm interested in BlackBerry OS 6/7 handsets.
foursquare: URLs just fail with a not-supported error message, and http links to foursquare.com just open in the same browser window.
At the bottom of the page at https://developer.foursquare.com/resources/client, under "BlackBerry Native App Integration", you can find instructions on how to launch the native foursquare app from other BlackBerry apps.

Have you ever used gmail in your Android or iOS using your browser. While browsing it you get a small popup at the top saying that to view/install the native gmail app available at Google Play or AppStore. How do you do that? Is that feature done using html, css, and JS. Or is it built-in to native app?
By the way, this doesn't happen only for gmail but pretty much all the professional apps with both web apps and native apps.
On iOS, you're thinking of Smart App Banners, which are a website configuration detail to display a banner for the user to view your iOS app in the App Store:
I have my Apps installed in my device. Now I want to launch the apps from email hyperlink click
You can define a custom URL scheme so that apps can send information to your app using URLs.
Read the Inter-App Communication Guide. You are looking for URL schemes.
Is there a way I could make links to my website open in the web app if the user has it installed on their home screen? Like if there is a link to my website in the Facebook app, how do I tell the iPhone to open the web app and not safari?
I know native apps can do this, and you can open one app from another... but can the same be done with a web app and native app or two web apps (open one web app from another)?
It's probably super far fetched, but it would be a nice feature!
Yeah, it would be a nice feature... but unfortunately you can't yet. iOS 8 may be?
My app isn't declared in sandbox.
I did specified a canvas URL for redirection.
The notification (apprequest) works well when sent from my webapp to the desktop facebook website. It well appears on the desktop version.
However, I can't receive the notifications from my Facebook mobile website.
I use Safari on my Iphone 4S and iOS 7.X.
Might it be normal?
Is there any way to detect them in the Facebook mobile version ?
As many users only use smartphones those days, I think it would be important to manage the mobile version of Facebook to detect the apprequests.
you need to add Website Platform and add Mobile Site URL
Settings > Add Platform > Website > then add ur Mobile Site URL
you also need to enable App Center Listed Platforms
App Details > App Center Listed Platforms > enable app on facebook and website - mobile
hope this helps
Let's say someone is viewing our website with Chrome on his/her iPhone. Is there a way to force a link to open in Safari instead of Chrome? We would like to do this to help users install our HTML5 app. We know application URLs can open specific apps. Does Safari have its own application URL?
Thanks.
