The following is a list of default
URL Schemas supported natively in iOS (all versions):
Objective-C
// Make a phone call
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel:12125551212"]];
// Open an url using default brower Safari
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.needone.app"]]
// Send an email by calling Email app
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"mailto:arkilis@gmail.com"]];
// Send a SMS
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"sms:0400000000"
Swift
// Make a phone call
UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: "tel:12125551212")!)
// Open an url using default brower Safari
UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: "http://www.needone.app")!)
// Send an email by calling Email app
UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: "mailto:arkilis@gmail.com")!)
// Send a SMS
UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: "sms:0400000000")!)
Be careful about above method openURL which will be deprecated in iOS 10. In stead, iOS 10 provides a new method called:
- (void)openURL:(NSURL *)url
options:(NSDictionary<NSString *,id> *)options
completionHandler:(void (^)(BOOL success))completion;
func open(_ url: URL,
options: [String : Any] = [:],
completionHandler completion: ((Bool) -> Void)? = nil)
