How to open AppStore from InAppBrowser.

[Tom Krones]

Hello.

I'm using the InAppBrowser to view my website from within the app. On my site I have links to my other apps in the appstore. Has anyone figured out a way to open the appstore from a link that's clicked on in the InAppBrowser?

Try something like window.open("itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds/id343200656?mt=8&uo=4", "_system","location=no");

Replacing http with itms will launch the app store directly rather than redirecting through Safari. Using "_system" for the target will tell it to open in the external system rather than in the internal InAppBrowser.

That worked great.  Thanks!

I tried with itms-apps but nothing happened, might be just itms does the trick. Will try it again.

You don't need other parameters since link contains itunes.apple.com will always launch App Store.

Thanks,
