SchemeKit

SchemeKit is a simple API to provide url query schemes for launching third party applications.

Installation

Carthage github "chickdan/SchemeKit"

Usage

import SchemeKit

You can use one of the built in checkers to see if your prefered browser is installed:

let installed = BrowserScheme.isChromeInstalled()

Or you can use the BrowserNames enum to check to see if a specific browser is installed:

let chosenBrowser = BrowserNames.chrome
let installed = BrowserScheme.isBrowserInstalled(browserName: chosenBrowser)

Once you know if the browser is installed, an updated url can be generated for the browser of choice:

let url = "https://www.google.com"
let chosenBrowser = BrowserNames.chrome

if BrowserScheme.isBrowserInstalled(browserName: chosenBrowser) {
    //results in a URL object with the path of: "googlechromes://www.google.com"
    let chromeUrl = BrowserScheme.getUrlForBrowser(urlToConvert: url, browserName: chosenBrowser)
}

NOTE: Be sure to add schemes you plan to use in your app's info.plist
