Can't open iTunes through webPopup or webView

Online “itms://itunes.apple.com/…” links don’t open itunes from the webPopup or webView. I know that there’s the [lua]system.openURL()[/lua] option, but that means that I have to update all my apps if I want to change the links list. [import]uid: 102175 topic_id: 29088 reply_id: 329088[/import]

Sorry, what exactly is the bug? (Am unclear on whether or not this should actually be a feature request.)

If you believe there is a bug with the popup or webview please file a report and include a sample we can run, along with a clear description of the bug.

If it’s a feature request please post in the roadmap/features sub forum.

Hi Peach,

What I’m trying to do is to have a webPopup which shows an HTML page with direct iTunes links. If I open that same page in the device’s Safari, the links on it open the App Store just fine - you can see it here: http://light-sleepers.com/otherbooks/otherbooks.htm, and also if I use those links from within the app: [lua]system.openURL( “itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/koto-go-silence/id478157910?mt=8&uo=4” )[/lua] it works without a problem, but when it’s a webpage shown within the app through webPopup, the message can’t get through to the App Store. The page just goes blank within the popup and that’s it.

I can send you some code if this explanation isn’t clear enough. [import]uid: 102175 topic_id: 29088 reply_id: 117308[/import]

Popups are for displaying in app - you should be doing this via the device browser (Safari) - if you want the popup to open the app store then that would be a feature request. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 29088 reply_id: 117399[/import]

I see. Cool, I’ll send it in ad a feature request, thanks and sorry for the mix-up. [import]uid: 102175 topic_id: 29088 reply_id: 117403[/import]

No worries, thanks for that :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 29088 reply_id: 117556[/import]
