is it possible to implement an iOS scheme on a website via a script? Or do URL schemes have to be strictly embedded into an iOS application while in development?

  • I'm developing an application that needs to open interactive pdf's that with the ability of them being able to be edited. As iOS's standard PDF viewer does not allow this, I want to link to an external pages that runs a script which then opens the app „GoodReader" (if installed) with the respective PDF-File. – Chris Bean May 28 '14 at 20:46
  • So are u trying to make your own url schemes , if yes, check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4403992/possible-to-handle-your-own-http-url-schemes-in-ios – ShujatAli May 28 '14 at 20:55
  • Why do you want to make a web request for that, why not embed the directly? – Leandros May 28 '14 at 21:14
  • @shujatAli: I'll look into your link, thanks! But no, I do not directly try to make my own url schemes, I want to embed an already existing URL scheme into a website instead of an application. – Chris Bean May 28 '14 at 21:17
  • @leandros: As I'm currently not working with any iOS development tool but rather a prototyping software which best capability for showcasing features is the ability to link to external websites, this is the best shot I've got. – Chris Bean May 28 '14 at 21:19

To open an existing URL scheme (whether registered by your app or another) from a website you simply place the URL scheme where you would in any other link

E.g. <a href=myApp://>Open myApp</a>
