jump to watch app on first tab

Hi All,



I have a question about jumping to apple watch application.



We have in application something like this.:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"itms-watch://"]];



but problem is that when ios jumps user to watch application, it will jump to app store section ( i think it's a third tab).



Is there possibility to jump user to first tab section ?



Thank you so much

Is the

itms-watch
URL scheme documented anywhere? I couldn’t find any reference to it in the standard place (the Apple URL Scheme Reference).

so we should not use it ? is there any correct and proper way how to jump to watch app ? to the first tab?


Thank you so much

The general rule for Apple URL schemes is that, if it’s not documented, you shouldn’t use it. Lots of folks have discovered the hard way that relying on undocumented URL schemes usually ends in binary compatibility tears down the line.

is there any correct and proper way how to jump to watch app?

I’m not aware of such an option, although it seems like a reasonable enhancement request based on the existence of

UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString
.

If you do file an ER, please post your bug number, just for the record.
