I tried to get solution for OSX. Why URL Scheme in iOS can be helpful for me? NSWorkspace and NSTask can be used for this purpose. Thank you! — Роман Маракулин, Jan 02 '16 at 13:59

You can use NSTask.
But you will need to provide path for skype

See Swift example:

let task = NSTask()
task.launchPath = "/bin/skype"
task.arguments = ["first-argument", "second-argument"]
task.launch()
