Edited title to recognize topic about skype URIs: support-wayne

I do not manage calling a 3rd party app that has a registered url.
The build in one works like tel:123 or mail:test@test.tst
I then try with skype:123 and it says “url not found”.
I have a native app that works that uses NSURL and openURL

I have tried the following combinations in a javascript and no one works and I tried with other applications like fb.

var url = ‘skype:’
window.alert(url)
window.location=url
//window.open(url);
//window.location.href=url

What I am missing here?

Thanks,

My bet is your are using invalid skype URL. Before coding anything simple test by enter skype:123 in the mobile safari addressbar. See the bottom of the following document for example URIs

http://developer.skype.com/public-api-reference#URI

Works for me when I use enter skype:<username>?chat or skype:echo123 in mobile safari addressbar.
