Launching Your Own Application via a Custom URL Scheme.
Basically you just add a couple values to your app’s plist file:
“URL types”
then add “URL Identifier” to that w/ our reverse DNS value (e.g., “com.yourcompany.appname”). And add “URL Schemes” to it too with your url scheme value (e.g., “appname” which implies “appname://”).
That alone allows other apps to open your app. However, if you want to handle the query string when your app opens, you need to implement:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url W/ the NSURL you can get the query string data and handle it appropriately.
