I believe that within WP8 I can register a URI for my application (i.e. myapp:) and have it launched with Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri)
My question is whether there is a way for me to launch the application via the browser using the same registered uri?
I have seen instances of trying to launch applications that are associated with file extensions, but can I do it with the uri scheme?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yes – all you need to do this is to create a web page with a hyper-link of the URI format you registered and the OS will open your app if it is installed.
If your app isn’t installed it will offer to open the Store for you to search for apps which support this URI scheme.
You can test this with your apps which are still in development on the emulator or device.
