Regarding the "URL Name" field under Custom URL Scheme… the release notes state "The name of the URL scheme used to reference your application uniquely."

Me no grok. Can someone here tell me what this is for?

Thanks!

A link that starts with "http://" will open Safari, something that starts with "tel:" will open the Phone app.. So if your app is called "Big iPhone App" and you want to use a link on a web site to load it, you could register the URL "bigiphoneapp:" which will cause the system to load your app..

Interesting. Thank you for that.

So to use your example for a moment… If I have registered** "bigiphoneapp:", and let's say I reference "bigiphoneapp://dataIWantToGet" from a link on a web site that is open in safari, how would "dataIWantToGet" be passed to the app at launch?


**Is registration accomplished on the local device the app is installed on simply by entering data in this field before building? What happens if two apps have registered "bigiphoneapp:"?
