I want to open .IBOOK file in my application. My question is is it possible to do it cause my client want to make some iBooks using the iBook author and want to open them in Library Application which I am working on. And If it is possible apple will approve this application or if there is any other way.

I think what you require is : UIDocumentInteractionController Class Reference

iBooks has an undocumented URL scheme of ibooks, means you can launch iBooks with a URL like [NSURL URLWithString:@"ibooks://"].

But I think, UIDocumentInteractionController is the correct way to do this. It is the way Apple wants you to do it. Plus, using UIDocumentInteractionController has the benefit of letting the user decide what to do with the file.

    Thanks @Vin Actually I want to open .iBOOK file from my document directory. But in this example we are opening only PDF, txt etc. If we open . iBOOK file I hope Apple will not reject the application – Shashank Kulshrestha Apr 02 '13 at 07:32
  • do you know it it's possible to detect when the user has tapped on the external app? I mean, if it's an ibook with 500mb it takes a lot of time until it "jumps" to ibooks and the user doesn't see any progress until that actually happens – nhenrique May 18 '15 at 08:40
