What is your favourite Iphone application?

Can I launch other people's iPhone apps from within my iPhone application?

  • For example, in my iPhone application can a user click on a button for let's say Angry Birds Free Edition and Angry Birds will launch from within my application (without exiting out of my application) and then when they close Angry Birds my app will resume?

  • Answer:

    No.

Not in general, but some apps register a custom URL scheme that makes them callable from another app. Not all of them provide the means to return to the calling app after, but some do. Here is a list of know custom URL schemes: http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes And here is an attempt to standardize inter-app communication, also with a nice list of apps: http://handleopenurl.com/
