I have to do an application that should be launched from the iPhone native applications like calendar, contacts and mail box etc... is it possible to launch 3rd party application from the native app, whether apple allows the developer to do this.

It's possible and quite east in fact. You have to create a custom URL that launch your app.

E.g myApp://?param=value look at this excellent tutorial

Then in the email you click on the URL and your app is launched... This solutino work only in apps that recognize URL

  • True, but the question is about launching other apps from within your own app. – Nick Moore Oct 13 '10 at 13:56
  • "launch 3rd party application from native iPhone apps" "that application should be launch from the iPhone native applications". You should consider rewriting your question.. To answer : you can launch Mail, SMS, Safari, use contacts, use Photo library and launch phone calls. You can't use or launch Calendar app. – Francescu Oct 13 '10 at 14:19
