I'm trying to send a message via Kik from my iOS app, and I use official Kik SDK for that. Specifically, the message should contain URL/link for the certain app on the Apple's app store.
This is the code:
KikMessage *message = [KikMessage articleMessageWithTitle:@"Title of your Article"
text:@"Check it out!"
contentURL:@"https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/idXXXX?mt=8"
previewURL:@""];
[[KikClient sharedInstance] sendKikMessage:message];
It works to the moment I try to open URL I've sent. For some URLs (ex: @"http://google.com" it works good - it opens a pop-up with the appropriate content of that page.
But if change it to @"https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/idXXXX?mt=8", Kik shows the error:
Unknown Content No action associated with this content
Changing protocol to http and to itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/idXXXXX doesn't help either.
I'm wondering if there are any requirements for that URL or its content, any restrictions on it? Is it possible to send user a link to the app store?
ps: it probably doesn't matter, but despite the docs, previewURL is not optional - it cannot be nil, and the empty string is passed, as a workaround.
