Is there any URL scheme that will launch the Calendar app on iOS?
I use Prowl to push Growl notifications to my phone. They just added support to launch an app with a URL based on the notification. I tried cal:// caldav:// and ical:// without any luck.
To find the iCal URL for a particular calendar, find the "Export Calendar" button and click it. On the menu which pops open, select "iCal Feed," then on the "Calendar Feeds" window, click "Get Standard iCal URL."
Tap Calendars at the bottom of the screen, then tap Add Calendar. Do one of the following: Create an iCloud calendar: Tap Add Calendar, enter a name for the calendar, then choose a color for it. Subscribe to an external, read-only calendar: Tap Add Subscription Calendar, enter the URL of the .
Overview. A URL scheme allows you to launch a native iOS application from another iOS app or a web application. You can set options in the URL that will be passed to the launched application.

Working with URL Schemes in iOS Apps. The URL scheme is an interesting feature provided by the iOS SDK that allows developers to launch system apps and third-party apps through URLs. For example, let’s say your app displays a phone number, and you want to make a call whenever a user taps that number.
To open an application with a custom URL scheme, all you need to do is call the open (_:options:completionHandler:) method of the UIApplication class. Here is the line of code: Now, we will modify the demo app to open the corresponding app when a QR code is decoded.
Use the sms scheme to compose a text message and specify a recipient. Use specially formatted URLs to open the Maps app and display directions or locations. Use specially formatted URLs to open iTunes and display items in the iTunes Music Store. Use specially formatted URLs to open YouTube videos in Safari.
You have to register the custom URL schemes before the method returns true. To register a custom scheme, open Info.plist of the QRReaderDemo project and add a new key named LSApplicationQueriesSchemes. Set the type to Array and add the following items: Once you’ve made the change, test the QR Reader app again.
