Related question: Can anyone recommend a QR scanner for iOS that doesn't suck? I use android personally, but was annoyed to learn that most / all iOS apps lock you into a webview when you scan effectively blocking functions like add to home screen and bookmarks.

- lukegb 13y agoThat said, for opening links, Google's devised [1] for Chrome-ish on iOS to abstract everything, but I believe (as an Android user and developer myself) that all it takes is a [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:targetURL]; where targetURL is an NSUrl. Chrome on iOS even allows you to specify a callback URL to return to. [1] https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/ios-links https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/ios-links
