I have a very strange requirement…
I need to launch my app from let’s say, a hyperlink that is received in an SMS.
Can this be done somehow?
I mean, the person who receives the SMS simply taps on the link provided in the “special SMS”, and that launches the application.
Something like a special link which invokes the app in the device…
I have stumbled into an article that shows how message body can be created and sent programmatically in iOS4 and I think that might help me in the creation of the “special message”
So creation of the message may not be an issue here… 😐
It’s the invocation part…
Anybody knows what can be done???
Suggestions and sample codes greatly appreciated… 🙂
Thanks in advance!
Good news, it is possible and quite simple (really easy in fact)
Take a look at this tutorial
Update : it seems that the SMS app doesn’t auto recognize that address type
