How do I launch other app from my own app in Windows Phone 8.1?

Call an external app on windows phone 8.1 runtime(not silverlight) xaml c# application

but nothing is working for me as i simply wants to launch one app for e.g. angry birds from my app using a button click.

Solution

  • If the app has a registered URI, then you should be able to use Launcher.LaunchUriAsync for this. You can also find some help, here at MSDN - How to launch the default app for a URI.

    Otherwise I don't think it's possible.
