Launch Periscope from App

Question

How can you launch Periscope from your applications via IBAction. I'd like to go directly to a user's periscope profile.

I tried the following:

NSString *periscopeURL = @"periscope://";

        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:periscopeURL]];

I used similar code to open twitter ...and it worked.. not sure why it's not working for periscope.

any pointers are greatly appreciated!

The URL for periscope application is "pscp://". I just found it from a tweet. https://twitter.com/viticci/status/581105793916891136

Albert is correct. Our scheme is pscp://

To link directly to a broadcast id, the format is:

pscp://broadcast/<broadcast id>

For a user:

pscp://user/<user id>

However, we do not have a public lookup for a user's id (yet). Sorry...

Hey Aaron, Don't suppose you have a way to take a user to the search box with #something? – Gerard Wilkinson Jul 07 '16 at 17:24
