Agentry for ipad - open external app by button click

[Former Member]

Hi,

is it possible to open an external application via button click?

We develop our own native applications and it would be very user-friendly to link them from Agentry to custom sketch app.

Can this be done without openUI? If not, how can this be done with Openui?

Thanks for your reply.

You don't even need openUI, you can use the action step "Open URL", then you can the URL the application is using: Using App URL Schemes in iOS | Corona Labs

Thanks alot, this will open our native drawing app when clicking on the button.

Is there a way yet to open full custom screens using openui?

So that the user can push a button to open the custom drawing screen to save it as an attachment?

Does it support the Swift programming language yet?

Dieter,

Yes you can open a fully custom screen.  Just have one field on the screen that fills the area and you have full control over that area in your Open UI code.

From what I understand, Swift should be supported.  I do not know if Engineering has tested it yet for Open UI but from what I have researched it should co-exist just fine with the Objective C in the Agentry client.
