How do I launch iBooks e-reader programmatically on iPad?

Question

Just like UIApplication.openURL.

Is there an API to launch iBooks with an ISBN?

Answer 1

iBooks registers the itms-books: and itms-bookss: URL schemes, so you can launch iBooks programmatically, but the actual URL might not be an ISBN.

Answer 2

iBooks

NSString *stringURL = @"itms-books:";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

NSString *stringURL = @"itms-bookss:";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
