Hello.

I would like to set a link to another itunes app.

I have the JS Code and the html Code, but does not work.

Can maybe someone help me?

Thanks
Giustino

I’m not familiar with invoking other iOS applications directly other than through the use of navigating to a url with a specially configured scheme/protocol registered by the application. For example if my UI control’s link property = “sms:123456780” then the iPhone will invoke the Messenger app which is configured for the “sms” protocol.

Please share with me any details about the app you wish to invoke and your approach. I will glad to help research this further.

Thanks for your quick answer.
Can I maybe send you an email?

We have a digital High Class Magazine and it’s already in another app. With this link we would like to link directly to our Magazine.

HTML

<a href="#" onclick="startMag()">START MAG</a>

JS

<script type="text/javascript">

                        function startMag() {

                            if( (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i)) ) {
                                // iOS devise
                                window.location = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&page=1';
                                setTimeout(function(){
                                    if(confirm('You do not seem to have our App. installed, do you want to download it now?')){
                                        window.location = 'itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
                                    }
                                }, 300);

                            } else {
                                // Other device
                                window.location = 'itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/XXXXXXXXXXX';                    
                            }
                        }

                    </script>
