In iOS to open any application you need to know which URLs schemes supported by this app.

For example, you can open email-writer by url like "mailto:aaa@bbb.com". But the thing is in application you can declare your own scheme. For example in App1 you can declare scheme like "my-app1-scheme". And in your second app you will need to open URL "my-app1-scheme://" and your App1 will be opened.

And I just found this plugin that allows you to do this in simpler way: https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/LaunchMyApp-PhoneGap-Plugin
