Feature Request:

The ability to add custom URL scheme directly into config.xml so that a native application can be launched from Safari or other applications on IOS.

Can you also consider adding the ability to check for other applications URL scheme via the javascript API. This would allow phonegap app's to check if google maps is installed on an iPhone before launching a native mapping app.

In the iOS plugin:

• (id)isUriAvailable:(NSString*)uri {
  return [NSURL URLWithString:uri]];
  }

In Android plugin:

public static boolean isUriAvailable(Context context, String uri) {
Intent test = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
return context.getPackageManager().resolveActivity(test, 0) != null;
}

Thanks,
James

+1 ... especially with the ability to check if the url scheme is registered.

+1, but this should be done with a universal plugin for all (if possible) supported devices. I have found dozens of plugins that do this, but do not want to have to compile locally. That is why I decided to use PhoneGap Build

we are working on this and it will be integrated with our release of 2.7 support in build, which we are targeting for the next few weeks.

This issue has closed with the release of PhoneGap Build 1.8 on May 22, 2013, which supports PhoneGap 2.7.
