iPhone Safari: check if URL scheme is supported in javascript?

I'm using pic2shop to provide barcode scanning for a mobile web app. For iOS, one can check [canOpenURL] to see if a particular scheme is valid (tel://, pic2shop://). Is there anything in mobile browsers (iOS, Android, etc) that provides the same functionality?

Answer 1

You may try placing that URL in an iframe and wait for some seconds. If you are not being redirected to an app, it means that it's not registered.

setTimeout(function() {
  alert('It seems that your device does not support our feature.');
}, 1000);

document.write('<iframe style="border:none; width:1px; height:1px;" src="pic2shop://"></iframe>');
