Question

Launch Mobile App Via Javascript

Is there a way to launch an AIR iOS app from the Safari browser?  I've read about the ways to do this from a swf, but obviously a swf won't exist in Safari on an iOS device that doesn't support Flash.

I have also read about how this is possible with regular iOS apps not developed using AIR.

So, without Flash, is it possible to launch an AIR iOS app from the browser?  I assume this would be done with javascript, but I cannot find any info on this.

Thanks.

You can use custom URL schemes to then have regular HTML open your app. Read here for example:
