Can aurigma Up redirect to native app instead of website?

Hi,

We have created a facebook application and are using aurigma up for uploading pictures from iphone. Recently we faced a an issue;

When user logs into the native facebook ios application (not safari browser) and uses our app to upload an image, aurigma redirects him to safari (as it should because of return url). We want the user to be redirected to the facebook ios application.

I am assuming as user clicks aurigma link and it opens aurigma native app on iphone, so it might be possible to provide a link which opens facebook native app on iphone.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi Dimitry,

Thanks for the help. I have created a solution for it. So maybe it can help someone else.

I have attached a javascript onclick function to the aurigma up link before it is submitted,
in the function I check if the user agent contains /FBForIphone or /FBForIpad (its native FB application) If its true then with javascript, I replace the return url to "fb://root" . So after uploading picture, user will be redirected to fb://root which is custom url on iphone for facebook native app and it makes the native application open.

Thanks.

Hello Nacer,

Unfortunately current version of Aurigma Up on Android does not support redirecting to custom url scheme. The next release will be free of this issue.

Unfortunately estimated time for new release in unknown yet because our developer team is busy with another project which will be released soon. After its releasing they will work on Aurigma Up. Then I will keep you informed about it :)

As for custom url scheme in iOS.. Previous guys, submitted this topic, said that they found a workaround for redirecting to native FB application (please see their post). However I am not sure that it will work correctly on Android. You may try their method too. Actually there is another way but should say that it is quite ugly. It is server redirecting. You set redirectUrl to, say, redirect.php page. On redirect.php page you make redirect to native application via custom url scheme.
