webView
I am using a webview in my app and I want to include a link on my website that goes to the iTunes Store/AppStore for my other apps that I've developed.
When I touch the link in the webview that is on my site, it does not exit the app and go to the linked app in the AppStore.
Any way to do this with a webView instead of exiting the app first to safari, THEN going to the AppStore?

If you're using the iPhone Simulator, it won't work because there is no App Store/iTunes Store on the simulator. You will have to build the application to your device to test it out. From what I know, it should open iTunes/App Store when you click the link on the device.

Not using the simulator. I never test on that thing.
Anyone know?

Hi:
You need to check how the device is reading the link. Sometimes webViews do not read them properly and you need to process the link first before sending the request to open the new web page.

Ok - posting the answer to my own question just in case somebody else would like to know.
If you're using a webview inside your app, the link to one of your other apps that links to the app store should start with "itms"
The user will then be bounced into the iTunes store, then into the app store.
If it's in safari or another web browser, "http" works fine.
