https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16651980/CustomURLScheme.pdf Here is a cheeky tutorial of how to create your own URL. For those who don't know what a custom URLScheme is.(NOt to be confused withe the CustomURL Plugin) You know when you hit a web link and it takes you to your app, they're using a customURL scheme mostly with a bit of java to send you too the app store if it's not installed, if anyone kind find that code I'd love it. If you've got facebook installed try typing "fb://" in safari to launch Facebook. Here's a website with loads of other examples: http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes All the tutorials I found to do this use the older version of xCode this way is supported from version 4.0. I've learned so much from these forums so it's time too give something back. It would be nice if it made it up their on to the How To's if it's worthy. Any mistakes, or problems post here and I'll help you out or amend the tutorial.

Thanks. I have bookmarked this for when i get round to iphone developing. Excellent info

That is cool! There is a lot of us for this.

sweet tips

Great stuff. I keep meaning to play with this to link to app pages from html docs. ravey made a little plugin for Android I was looking at and was going to try using the Custom URL scheme in ios to see if it could be done. keep meaning to look closer at his code here and try it.... https://www.buzztouchmods.com/downloads.php?cat_id=1&download_id=40 kittsy - think you can take this to the next level and link to app screens from a url doc using this method in iOS? it seems possible and seems like this tutorial would be a part of that process....

That is my master plan but I am struggling. If you have seen my previous posts, I am working on augmented reality and I want to show a secret screen once they have found that image. Will keep trying but got a feeling my code skills aren't good enough.

rubbish, keep following tutorials and take it slow. the Aurusma SDK into a project - that's not going to be easy. I would not start there. It took me 3 weeks of trail and error to make the Aviary SDK work in an app. I still can't get the chute sdk working yet after a month... Look at sample projects, watch some Hello World video tutorials on simple ios stuff. Step away and revist. Look at other BT plug-in code too. What is the deal with Aurusma 'intregration'. I've applied a couple of times for the kernel access here: http://www.aurasma.com/partners/kernel Is this what you got approval for? What was the kernel? Is it an SDK? They gave me an account but I can't find a kernel to tinker with when i login. I'm also looking this now (reccomended by another developer) http://www.metaio.com/ Easy to grab their SDK and some great tutorials. Maybe you might want to check that out? They have some awesome sample apps. but I still want Aurusama, esp if the Rolling Stones are using it!

I've integrated aurasma it's done I'm just tweaking the plug in. I can integrate SDK's that's the easy bit calling methaods and view controllers.

That metaio looks cool but it does everything aurasma does and it is more common in the UK I've noticed it in so many magazines since i started playing with it. The 3d touch control is awesome though shame it's a couple of grand a month to use it. Have you seen the virtual clothes thing

just came across this site the other day and thought it might be useful if your are working with customURL schemes- http://handleopenurl.com/

@kittsy - we've just launched a free web service that does the javascript "Open app using custom URL scheme if app is installed, but open the App Store if app is not installed" bit. It also works across different mobile devices e.g. Android, iOS, BB10 and Windows Phone 8. Check it out here: http://rdrct.it We'd love to know what you guys think of it.
