let instagramURL = NSURL(string: \"instagram://app\")

Why won\

Answer 1

Well you can open an app by calling openURL: or openURL:options:completionHandler: (iOS 10 onwards) directly without making the conditional check canOpenURL:. Please read the discussion section in Apple doc for canOpenURL: method which says:

the openURL: method is not constrained by the LSApplicationQueriesSchemes requirement.
