Custom URL scheme

[Terry]

Hi,

It it possible to launch an app from within an ICENIUM app which publishes a custom URL scheme?

Regards,

T.

Hello Terry,

 You can launch another app on the device with a custom URL scheme simply by navigating to a URL with that scheme - either with a hyperlink anchor, or by setting window.location.

All the best,

Yavor,
I had a question regarding this subject. Ultimately what I am trying to do is launch a previously deployed Icenium application, from a new Icenium application. However, the URL scheme does not seem to be in the .plist file of either application. So I have been trying to launch Application 1 "com.xxx.app1" , from Application 2 using the following on iOS devices:
<a href="app1://">Open App</a>
<a href="com.xxx.app1://">Open App</a>
Neither of these work. It seems that in the .plist file that has been created there is not an entry something along the lines of:
   <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
   <array>
      <dict>
         <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
         <string>com.xxx.app1</string>
         <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
         <array>
            <string>app1</string>
         </array>
      </dict>
   </array>
