What I’m trying to do is this:

  • I’ve got a web app the user can choose to add to the homescreen and run in standalone mode.
  • Sometimes the server side of the app sends SMS’es to the user to notify the user of
    significant events. The SMS contains an URI to the app page of the event.
  • If the user has added the application to homescreen I would like to launch the app in
    standalone mode

Is there a way to achieve this?

EDIT

From what I’ve found so far iOS does not implement a url scheme for launching browser based (ie. web apps) in standalone mode. … But apple should though 🙂 Apple implements parsing of urls to youtube.com and redirects them to the video app.

If they store the URL to the app placed on the home screen it would be a simple task to redirect links to that app.
