launching another app from salesforce1

I have an ios app with URL Scheme defined (myapp:// )  and want to launch this app from a custom action on an opportunity passing the opportunity id in salesforce1 mobile app.

custom actions does not support url links, tried using VF page , but does not work as expected.

Any ideas?

Hi , 


You have to get it on the iOS sdk. 

See the sample below,

Hi , 


Not exactly sure, but looks like its a current limitation that might be included in the later versions.
