Why won t Twitter links open in app?

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

I have a web site that links out to other sites that don't open in the browser.

The app opens, but it's blank and only seems to work if you open a url (http://) in the browser. I've tried using the following in my html.
Foo. But it's not working, am I doing something wrong? Thanks! The browser is not "smart" enough to understand what to do with links that aren't the typical https:// and http:// ones. In the Safari web browser it's just like any other link, and it doesn't know about a service like Foo.com.

If you type in Foo.com into your web browser, you should get an actual page coming from Foo.com that looks like the default behavior of the browser. The same goes for If you want to actually be able to visit foo.com from within the iPhone, you need to add the scheme like so: or
The reason the iPhone can handle a regular without issue is because the Safari browser supports service extensions. If you install the extension there, it automatically handles your links so you don't have to manually set the http:// or https:// as before.

Why do Twitter links no longer work?

I have been working on a site that has been completely static for some time.

Recently, however, I have been converting the site to be served from a Wordpress installation. This is an upgrade of the previous design, and I have been working on the upgrade for some time now.

When I last checked, the site was serving links to Twitter in the URL. This all worked fine when the site was static. However, now that I have the site live, the Twitter links no longer work.

Here are a few of the links that I have tried: @twitter/favorites/tweetid/4028160957. @twitter/status/4028160957. When I click on the link to the tweet, it goes to the correct tweet, but the Twitter logo does not show. The following text is displayed instead of the Twitter logo: The Twitter logo is missing from the top right hand corner of the page. I can understand why this might happen when the site is serving from a Wordpress installation, as Wordpress serves files from its own directory rather than the root of the website. I have checked that the files for the Twitter logo are indeed located in the root directory of the Wordpress installation.

I cannot understand why links to Twitter links are no longer working. I have tried contacting Twitter, but I have not received a response.

I do not believe that this is a problem with my code. I have checked it over many times, and it appears to be correct.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Edit: I just tried this with another link. @twitter/follow/userid/4028160957. This link worked perfectly when the site was static.

How do I open Twitter links in Twitter app iOS?

I am not able to open a Twitter link in the Twitter app on iOS.

I have enabled the option to open links in the Safari app, but still it opens the link in the Twitter app.

Can anybody help me with this? Twitter doesn't allow you to send links directly to the Twitter app via their API. You'll need to save the URL to your device and then launch the Safari app and then type the URL into the address bar. This works for both the Twitter app and Safari.

Why won t Twitter links open in app?

My app is a webapp.

I can link to any page on my site, even if it is not open in the app.

Why does it ask if I want to open it? This is what I am doing: String url = "";. URL wbUrl = new URL(url);. WbUrl.openStream(); You are using a WebBrowser that is not in your app's process. When you do this: URL wbUrl = new URL(url);. WbUrl.openStream(); Then your WebBrowser is trying to execute code on a remote machine (the one that hosts the webpage) and is attempting to load the webpage. You have two options. You can make your WebBrowser a part of your app's process so that it will be in your app's process and can load the webpage. You can use a WebView instead. WebViews do not execute code remotely like WebBrowsers do, they simply render the webpage as though it was an image and then you can take advantage of the other features of a WebView. The following link has examples on how to use WebViews with your app.
