In phonegap application for iOS I'm trying to open Sygic navigation app in javascript by it's custom schema URL. Everything works for native iOS navigation, Google Maps, Waze.... but not for Sygic! It's very strange because direct link tapped by user works: 

<a href="com.sygic.aura://coordinate|16.6784149|48.8759607|drive">

In Javascript all these doesn't works:

window.location = 'com.sygic.aura://coordinate|16.6784149|48.8759607|drive';

window.open('com.sygic.aura://coordinate|16.6784149|48.8759607|drive', '_system');

window.open('com.sygic.aura://coordinate|16.6784149|48.8759607|drive', '_blank', 'location=yes');

var t = escape('com.sygic.aura://coordinate|16.6784149|48.8759607|drive');
window.location.href = t;

One of suspect was pipe "|" in url. After escaping url still not working... WHY IT WORKS FOR FOR EVERYTHING ELSE BUT NOT FOR "com.sygic.aura" ?

  • Hi I'm getting the same issue now, on iOS 8.3 and Cordova. – Robert Sep 07 '15 at 15:01
  • A recent Sygic update caused my deep links to stop working; I figured out that the pipe now needs to be escaped, e.g. `com.sygic.aura://coordinate%7C16.6784149%7C48.8759607%7Cdrive` – DaveAlden Aug 15 '16 at 21:15
  • so is it working? escaping the pipe doesn't work for me – kap Sep 09 '16 at 10:09
