Answer 1

Here is your swift code:

Swift

@IBAction func skypeMe(sender: AnyObject) {

    let installed = UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(NSURL(string: "skype:")!)
    if installed {
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: "skype:echo123?call")!)

    } else {

        UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: "https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/skype/id304878510?mt=8")!)
    }
}

Objective-C

- (IBAction)skypeMe:(id)sender {

    BOOL installed = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"skype:"]];
    if(installed){

        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"skype:echo123?call"]];
    } else {

        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/skype/id304878510?mt=8"]];
    }
}

I have changed skype URL for iTunes in this code and tested it with device and both URL is working fine.

Answer 2

For Swift 3.0 It opens itunes url if it is not installed, otherwise it will open skype.

@IBAction func btnSkypeLinkPressed(_ sender : UIButton) {

    let installed = UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(NSURL(string: "skype:")! as URL)
    if installed {
        UIApplication.shared.openURL(NSURL(string: "skype:skypeID")! as URL)

    } else {

        UIApplication.shared.openURL(NSURL(string: "https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/skype/id304878510?mt=8")! as URL)
    }
}

and in plist add:

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
    <array>
    <string>skype</string>
    </array>

Hope it will work for swift users Thanks.

in addition to @Dharmesh's answer, in iOS9 you must add the application you want to query for 'canOpenUrl' to you plist, under LSApplicationQueriesSchemes key
