open an iphone app from a link in a web app in safari

I am trying to open my native iPhone application from a link in safari. I have followed this link to create a url schema. I have added appgo:// as my url schema and com.xxxx.appgo as Identifier under URL Types. Following is my link in web page in safari: Open iPhone App But when I click on the link the app doesn't open up and safari produce an alert with error: Safari cannot enter the page as the address is invalid.

my bundle identifier: com.xxxxx.abc Note: My bundle identifier is different from the identifier in URL types. Can that be an issue?

Edit: I have made bundle identifier and url identifier same. I have also added following code in my app delegate:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url{
NSLog(@"application");
BOOL returnValue = NO;
NSString *urlString = [url absoluteString];
if([urlString hasPrefix:@"com.xxxx.appgo"]){
    returnValue = YES;
}
return returnValue;

}

I am testing it in my iPad. I first install the latest version of app from xcode and then press on home button and then open the link in safari. But I am still getting the alert saying the Safari cannot enter the page as address is invalid. My link in safari:

<a href="appgo://">Open iPhone App</a>

Yes. Your bundle identifier must be same as the URL types in the plis file.

Implement in app delegate 

    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url {
        BOOL returnValue = NO;
        NSString *urlString = [url absoluteString];
        if([urlString hasPrefix:@"appgo://"]){  
             returnValue = YES;
        }
       return returnValue;
    }

Edit: Add in your info.plist file 

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
            <string>com.xxxx.appgo</string>
            <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
            <array>
                <string>appgo</string>
                <string>yourSecondScheme</string>
            </array>
        </dict>
    </array>
