Possible to launch Apple's default weather app from my application?

Question

One of my client wants to open Apple's native weather app from our application. After few I don't see a possible way, unless we need to go with any 3rd party apps which provides custom url scheme.

It would be great if someone confirm or give me a lead if it is possible.

Answer 1

Its not possible, the weather app doesn't have a known URL scheme and I dubt that it has an unknown one.

Answer 2

The website handleOpenURL is an excellent resource for custom iOS URL schemes; use this link to search for the known Apple app schemes.

Unfortunately the weather app is not among them.

Another couple of sites with schemes (handleOpenURL seems to be the most complete, but it can't hurt to check the others):

Answer 3

I found another site for sharing the url scheme - http://schemes.zwapp.com/
