Question

I'm not sure why this code isn't working. Any ideas? iBooks opens, but nothing is presented.

NSString *fileToOpen = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"test" ofType:@"ibooks"]; 
NSString *stringURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"itms-books:%@", fileToOpen];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
Was it helpful?

Solution

The itms-books: URL scheme is for links to the iBookstore. If you have a PDF or ePub file you want to allow the user to open in iBooks, look into QLPreviewController or UIDocumentInteractionController.
