I trying to find a way for opening an installed application from my iPhone app with a selected image file. An app named "Good Reader" which i want to open from my app. Can anyone suggest the procedure.

Thanks in advance.

You can only launch apps that have registered a URL scheme. Then just like you open the SMS app by using sms:, you'll be able to open the app using their URL scheme..

NSURL *myURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"Goodreader://"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:myURL];
