webview app, opening appstore link in appstore app

[sl4ter]

trying to get a link to open in the appstore not inside a locked webview, I have this so far in my viewcontroller.m file but have been unsucessful

@implementation WebViewController

-(id) init {
	self = [super init];
	if (self != nil){
		webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
		webView.scalesPageToFit = NO;
		[self.view addSubview:webView];
		NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[ [ NSBundle mainBundle ] pathForResource: @"index" ofType:@"html" ]];
		NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
		[webView loadRequest:request];
    }
	return self;
}

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
    if (navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked) {
        NSURL *url = [request URL];
        if (![[url scheme] hasPrefix:@"file"]) {
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
            
            return NO;
        }
    }
    
    return YES;
}

also tried this to no avail.

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView*)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
    if ([[[request URL] host] isEqualToString:@"phobos.apple.com"])
    {
        NSURLConnection* conn = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[request URL]] delegate:self startImmediately:YES];
        [conn release];
        return NO;
    }
    return YES;
}

what am I doing wrong?

You dont need that much code. Just a button that opens safari with your desired link

[sl4ter]

its not much code, the app loads up static files and im trying to get it to open an external link instead of internally in the webview, any idea?

If you're trying to open Safari with your page, then use something like this:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.website.com"]];
