Question

I making a social application which requires Google+. I know that I can open Google+ as a link to Safari (Which isn’t really user Friendly having to switch apps just to post something). This code opens the link to Safari:

    -(IBAction)Google+:(id)sender  {  
            NSLog(@"Google+");
        //The link will go to Stack Overflow Google+ Page
        NSURL *GooglePlus = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://plus.google.com/+StackExchange/posts"];
           [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:GooglePlus];        
 }

But is there a way to detect if Google+ Application is installed and open the application there (And if it isn’t then open the link to Safari). I thank Everyone who take the time to read my post (Even if you didn’t) 🙂

Answer 1

According to this post it is not possible to run an app within another app but it is possible to launch any app that registers a URL Scheme. You should check if that’s the case for the Google+ Application.

EDIT
Google+ doesn’t seem to be on the list 🙁
