I've tried to open that app https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cb-pay/id1333054033?mt=8 from my existing app. Problem is whenever I've tried to open, it always shows

-canOpenURL: failed for URL: "cb-pay://app" - error: "The operation couldn’t be completed.

even I've installed that app in my iPhone and already configured inside LSApplicationQueriesSchemes.

Is that because of app name is included space or dash between two words? I've tried to open photos app inside my app, it's working.

if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(cpayURL!) {
    if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
        UIApplication.shared.open(cpayURL!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
    } else {
        UIApplication.shared.openURL(cpayURL!)
    }
} else if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(cpayInstallURL!) {
    UIApplication.shared.openURL(cpayInstallURL!)
}

How do you know that that is the URL scheme for that app? – Paulw11 Sep 18 '18 at 03:46
@Paulw11 I just browse that app from url. Is that correct? – PPShein Sep 18 '18 at 03:53
You mean that if you type `cb-pay://app` into Safari on your device the app opens? – Paulw11 Sep 18 '18 at 03:54
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cb-pay/id1333054033?mt=8 like that. and I assume that scheme name is `cb-pay` – PPShein Sep 18 '18 at 03:58
No. The scheme is registered in the app's Info.plist. It may not have a URL scheme or it could be something else. `canOpenURL` is telling you that there is no app installed that responds to `cb-pay://` – Paulw11 Sep 18 '18 at 04:00
try with `cb-pay://` – Anbu.Karthik Sep 18 '18 at 04:01
@Anbu.karthik try already. it's not working. – PPShein Sep 18 '18 at 04:02
@Paulw11 so is there anyway to do it? – PPShein Sep 18 '18 at 04:04
is this possible to attach the project – Anbu.Karthik Sep 18 '18 at 04:05
You need to extract the IPA file from your phone, open it and check what URL scheme the app registers (if any). Anything else is just guessing. – Paulw11 Sep 18 '18 at 04:06
@Anbu.karthik why it's needed to attach? Above code is enough to test it. – PPShein Sep 18 '18 at 04:18
