How do I make links open in app instead of browser iPhone?

How do I open a link in a specific app on iPhone?

I'm working on an app that will allow users to link external web sites.

My intention is that when they get to a URL in the app, it'll open in the browser using Safari.e. I've already added a "Get Links" button for them, but I want to add a second button that does this, preferably by default.

I'm aware that UIApplicationShortcutItem can be used to set the defaults on link clicks, but in my app, the user will have the option of choosing to open a specific type of link. I also know about the URL schemes, and I don't want to force the app to go through that process, as it will complicate things.

Does anybody have any ideas about how this can be achieved? Thanks. URL schemes are designed to make this easy. In your application's info.

If you have a custom UI element that doesn't follow the default design, you'll need to define an alternate scheme which forwards to the application's delegate's handleOpenURL method.

How do I make a link open directly to an app?

I have a link that opens a menu, which is called "MyMenu".

The menu contains a list of applications. When I click one of the apps, it should open directly. How do I make this happen?
Thanks! When you press a button or whatever you want to trigger the event, you need to use the event.preventDefault() method.

Var event = document.createEvent('Event'); event.initEvent('click', false, false); element.dispatchEvent(event); Here, we're setting the event to be a click, and making it so it's not a link. The third parameter is the default action of the link, so if you want to avoid that, you need to prevent the default. This will stop the link from redirecting to the URL, but it won't stop it from opening the app.

How do I make links open in app instead of browser on iPhone?

I found the following Apple documentation: It talks about how to change the system behavior for URL's that are opened by a built-in app. Is there a way to set my own custom behavior for opening URL's in my own app? Unfortunately, if your app is not on the list that you can choose from in Settings / General -> SFSafariViewController it will not work. The documentation is misleading.
