IPhone launch application with home button

do you know in which ways is it possible to launch an application?

I know that it is possible by clicking on the icon, and it is possible by clicking an url with a cistom protocol,

Anyone know if there ae more ways?

For example is it possible to make an application be launched when the users touch 3 times the home button?

or when the user start a call?

thank you

Paolo

Jailbroken phones can use libactivator. It has a set of predefined touch and physical button events that can start an application. Of course it is not viable if you plan to publish your app in the store.

The only ways that it is possible to launch an application are the ways you describe:

  • Clicking the application's icon
  • Via a custom URL scheme

The above applies to non-jailbroken iPhones. I would imagine it is techinically possible to hack a jail-broken iPhone to launch apps in other ways, but naturally such functionality would not be permitted on the App Store
