Launching Viber app via URL scheme on iOS

Question

I\'m making an iOS app which can open Viber app and automatically call a person or go to chat window with the person. Is there any url scheme for Viber to do that such as:

Answer 1

You could use this code to accomplish what you want:

NSString *phoneNumber = @"1112223333";
NSString * const viberScheme = @"viber://";
NSString * const tel = @"tel";
NSString * const chat = @"chat";
NSString *action = @""; // this could be @"chat" or @"tel" depending on the choice of the user

if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:viberScheme]]) {

    // viber is installed
    NSString *myString;
    if ([action isEqualToString:tel]) {
        myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@:%@", tel, phoneNumber];
    } else if ([action isEqualToString:chat]) {
        myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@:%@", chat, phoneNumber];
    }

    NSURL *myUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[viberScheme stringByAppendingString:myString]];

    if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:myUrl]) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:myUrl];
    } else {
        // wrong parameters
    }

} else {
    // viber is not installed
}
