I followed this really great instructions: http://cubiq.org/add-to-home-screen to create a look-like App for iPhone, by adding a link to the home-screen and adding a nice icon, startscreen, and so on...

Now I have a question:

If I send the user some E-Mail (or Textmessage), in which the user can find some Link (Url) and he clicks the link: how can I force the device to open the "App" instead of the browser?

Thanks for help!

  • Well, it's actually no real app; it's just a favorite on the home screen. I want, if the user has the favorite on it's home screen, open the link in the look-like app and not in the browser. Know what I mean? – helle Dec 12 '11 at 10:42

For a web-app there is no way to do this, only a native app can be started via an app url sheme.

You can use phonegap to pack you website in a app. Then you can make a link to it.
