Launch other application without URL schema in iphone?

I know that other applications can call from your application via the URL schema. But not all applications are registered schema URL. So how can I launch that application?. I'm developing for iphone jaibroken.

Solution

  • I used this way:

    void* sbServices = dlopen("/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SpringBoardServices.framework/SpringBoardServices", RTLD_LAZY);
int (*SBSLaunchApplicationWithIdentifier)(CFStringRef identifier, Boolean suspended) = dlsym(sbServices, "SBSLaunchApplicationWithIdentifier");
int result = SBSLaunchApplicationWithIdentifier((CFStringRef)bundleId, false);
dlclose(sbServices);

    And you need entitlements granted to your app:

     <key>com.apple.springboard.launchapplications</key>
 <true/>

    It can run on iOS 6.
