iOS 9 syntax for Skype for Business app?

We are trying to send a new audio or video call from an iOS 9.2 app to the Skype for Business app. Below is what we have tried. Any ideas?

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"business://[email protected]"]];

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"sip://[email protected]"]];

The following is from the Microsoft Documentation about skype URI's:

BOOL installed = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"skype:"]];
  if(installed)
  {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"skype:echo123?call"]];
  }
  else
  {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.com/apps/skype/skype"]];
  }

They do note the following though; With the recent redesign of the Skype for iOS client, URIs are not currently supported on the Skype for iOS 5.x branch.

This might not apply to Skype for Business, but unless documented elsewhere. It's worth a try.

To determine which URL you need, check the following documentation for Skype URIs: https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/dn745882.aspx
