In your subclass of MSMessagesAppViewController, there is a property extensionContext, of type NSExtensionContext. That object can open URLs for you.

I assume you have a main App already working (besides the iMessage extension).

Go to your main app's Info.plist create a new URL Types structure like this

URL Types -> URL Schemes -> Your_App_Name_No_Spaces

After this you can go to your app extension 

NSString *customURL = @"appName://";

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