iOS - Launch YandexMaps with directions URLScheme

Is there an URL-Scheme for launch the Yandex Maps application with directions?

I can just launch the Yandex Maps application (if already installed) with few lines of code, but I didn't found documentation about URLSchemes handled by the app:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"yandexmaps://maps.yandex.ru/"];

if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:url]){
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
}
Solution

  • Actually, as of today this is misleading, there is a URL-scheme to get directions.

    yandexmaps://build_route_on_map/?params

    Example: 

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:
[NSURL URLWithString:@"yandexmaps://build_route_on_map/?lat_from=59.967870&lon_from=30.242658&lat_to=59.898495&lon_to=30.299559"]];

    lat_from and lon_from are optional, current position is used when they are not provided. Don't forget to check if yandex.maps app is installed

    NSURL *callUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:@"yandexmaps://"];

if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:callUrl])

{
    //Yandex.Maps app is installed

}
