URL scheme to launch blackberry messenger in iOS

Question

If i need to check whether Facebook is installed on my iOS device, i can check it by :

if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"fb://"]])

Is there any url scheme for bbm ?

I have tried for bbm://, but didn't work.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is. If you want to know for certain, you can open the ipa for it (it's a zip file), and find the plist. Within the plist, you can check if it registers any schemes.

Thanks @fernando, I got plist of bbm from iTunes folder but haven't got url scheme. Even for others like Facebook, its not there in facebook's plist. – Arun Jun 25 '14 at 06:39
They need to be. It's the only way to register them. – Fernando Mazzon Jun 25 '14 at 13:34

I got the url scheme, its bbmc:// , You can detect whether bbm is installed on your iOS device by

if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"bbmc://"]])

Blackberry should provide it on its site like instagram did like this.

I've found three URL schemes for the app:

bbmi://
pin://
bbmc://

it is unknown what they are really doing after the application opens.
