How to open Pinterest and Linked iOS app for share something?

I coding a iOS app, It need open Pinterest and LinkedIn to share something. (If user didn't install it, it will be open safari and share - post something).

I try to use some Schemes, but it didn't work. Maybe have anyway for do this.

I found some URL Schemes for share with Pinterest app. It worked for me:

NSString *sharingURL = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"pinterestsdk.v1://pinit/?client_id=%@&source_url=%@&image_url=%@&app_name=%@&suggested_board_name=%@&description=%@",@"xxxxxxx", @"shareurl.com", @"shareurl.com/shareMedia.png", @"Your_App_Name", @"Board_Name", @"Your_Description"] stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:sharingURL]])
{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:sharingURL]];
}

With LinkedIn, i researching for a best solution.

Oh, Maybe have way for share with LinkedIn app, when you press share on Safari browse, it have a option for LinkedIn, and it worked without signin (safari did not sign in LinkedIn before, just LinkedIn app.). But SDK of LinkedIn just support for REST API.

Thanks, sorry for my bad english.

Similar to the Pinterest SDK answer mentioned above, LinkedIn provided a native iOS SDK that will facilitate sharing content through.

You can download it here: https://developer.linkedin.com/downloads

With additional documentation available here: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin

        if (![[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.pinterest.com/versluis2000/"]]) {

            // nothing works - perhaps we're not online
            NSLog(@"Dang!");
        }
    }
}

Opening a Pinterest Board

        // opening the app didn't work - let's open Safari
        if (![[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.pinterest.com/versluis2000/ios-projects/"]]) {

            // nothing works - perhaps we're not online

    // open the Pinterest App if available
    if (![[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"pinterest://pin/76279787413881109"]]) {

                      fields:(NSSet *)fields
                 withSuccess:(PDKClientSuccess)successBlock
                  andFailure:(PDKClientFailure)failureBlock;

- (void)createPinWithImageURL:(NSURL *)imageURL
                         link:(NSURL *)link
                      onBoard:(NSString *)boardId
                  description:(NSString *)pinDescription
                  withSuccess:(PDKClientSuccess)successBlock
                   andFailure:(PDKClientFailure)failureBlock;

- (void)createPinWithImage:(UIImage *)image
                      link:(NSURL *)link
                   onBoard:(NSString *)boardId
               description:(NSString *)pinDescription
                  progress:(PDKPinUploadProgress)progressBlock
               withSuccess:(PDKClientSuccess)successBlock
                andFailure:(PDKClientFailure)failureBlock;
