[Resolved] Opening other apps - Cross-promotion

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I’ve seen some games/apps recently that are directly opening up other apps, if they are installed on the Apple device. For instance, there’s a little coloring book app out there called Fong! Coloring Book that really successfully opens entices kids to open up other separate apps they create, like their sing-along games. See:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/coloring-book/id509047550?mt=8
If the app isn’t installed, the button goes to the AppStore, if it IS, it opens up that app. Such a great feature…

Just curious if there’s some way I can get this working with Corona. It’s make our cross-promotional campaigns much more powerful.

Thanks!
