Launch Native App Help (iOS)

Trying to launch an application that is already installed on the iPad I am using via the Launch Native Application plugin... I get repeatedly told "This device cannot open the application with this URL scheme" Tried lots of different combos... Can anyone provide the correct convention for launching an app thats already installed? It is possible to use this plugin for this purpose correct? (iOS)

Thank you for your response. After a bit of research, I figured out that any app you want to use in this way must be designed with this type of use in mind. Should have posted back sooner. If the developer of the app you want to use has included an Application URL Scheme, then you can use the actions they made available... Like facebook and twitter are full of options: fb://events – Open Native Facebook app to the Events page fb://profile – Open Native Facebook app to the user’s profile twitter://user?id=12345 twitter://timeline Not useful at the moment to me... I emailed the original developer in hopes of a maybe someday... Until then hopefully this helps someone :)
