Open native Snapchat App from my Application

Question

I'd like to implement the native Snapchat App into my iOS Application. I've already done that with Facebook and Twitter by using the URL Schemes. But I weren't able to find such thing for Snapchat.

I found something to open Snapchat in Safari "see it below below", but i need the scheme itself, thanks in advance.

 https://www.snapchat.com/add/ProfileName

did you tried to add snapchat to LSApplicationQueriesSchemes as @Kirualex said — Horst, Apr 11 '16 at 10:15

You can use the following to add a specific user assuming the app is already installed:

NSURL *snapchatURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.snapchat.com/add/username"];
if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:snapchatURL])
{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:snapchatURL];
}

Replace username with the desired user's name

    let username = "USERNAME"
    let appURL = URL(string: "snapchat://add/\(username)")!
    let application = UIApplication.shared

    if application.canOpenURL(appURL) {
        application.open(appURL)

    } else {
        // if Snapchat app is not installed, open URL inside Safari
        let webURL = URL(string: "https://www.snapchat.com/add/\(username)")!
        application.open(webURL)

    }

I'm doing it like this:

NSURL *snapchatURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"snapchat://app"];
if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:snapchatURL])
{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:snapchatURL];
}

Also added snapchat to LSApplicationQueriesSchemes in plist.
