Unable to convert NSString to NSURL

I'm using following code to get the NSURL from NSString but I always get NSURL as null : 

NSString *CFURL = (NSString *)CFBridgingRelease(CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(kCFAllocatorDefault,(CFStringRef)[assetURL absoluteString], NULL, CFSTR("!$&'()*+,-./:;=?@_~"), kCFStringEncodingUTF8));

NSString *instagramString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"instagram://library?AssetPath=%@&InstagramCaption=%@", (NSURL *)CFURL, strInstagramCaption];

NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:instagramString];

NSURL does not natively support the instagram protocol. Here are the supported protocols.

The URL loading system provides support for accessing resources using the following protocols:

File Transfer Protocol (ftp://)

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (http://)

Hypertext Transfer Protocol with encryption (https://)

Local file URLs (file:///) Data URLs (data://)

As stated in the documentation, you will have to create a custom protocol.
