iOS Containing app is not launched

Question

I have a today extension for my app and I would like to be able to open the containing app from it. I have put what is necessary in my app's info.plist

<array>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
            <string>iOSmyApp</string>
        </array>
        <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
        <string>com.company.myApp</string>
    </dict>
</array>
</plist>

And then I call the method openURL: completionHandler: from the extension:

NSURL * hostURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"iOSmyApp//:"];
[self.extensionContext openURL:hostURL completionHandler:^(BOOL success) {
    NSLog(@"success opening - %d", success);
}];

I get 1 as value for success but the app is not launched. Also, it doesn't change whether I use iOSmyApp or iOSmyApp//:, however if I put something different I get a message about unknown URL. So obviously I am missing something but I can't find what it is.

EDIT

RCNTodayExtension[1294:835478] Failed to inherit CoreMedia permissions from 1282: (null)

This is the only error I get, I don't see how it could be related but I don't know what causes it either.

Thank for your help.

@Hugues can you put error code in comment,so we can get the problem. — Kiran Patil, Dec 11 '15 at 07:11
Thanks for your answer, the thing is I had already seen this question and it seems to me that I have filled all the necessary steps. My method `openURL:` is called but the application in not launched. — Hugues Duvillier, Dec 11 '15 at 07:18
I don't have any error, except something about CoreData but it doesn't seem related (I will still add it) — Hugues Duvillier, Dec 11 '15 at 07:19
@elio.d Indeed, it was really a stupid mistake, I changed iOSmyApp//: by iOSmyApp:// and it works. If you turn this into an answer I will accept it. — Hugues Duvillier, Dec 11 '15 at 08:28
