ios redirection from native app to Salesforce1 visualforce page
We need to figure out the format for the callback URLs to allow another iOS app to open a visual force page in SF1 with a parameter. For example... the PDF doc says to use the following format...
salesforce1://sObject/{!record.id}/view
However, other (scarce) resources I can find say to use a different format...
com.salesforce.salesforce1://entity/view?entityId={!record.id}
Both seem to work... this blog entry (https://plus.google.com/108841584505265827017
/posts/GjHbMRmQzC3) says that you can open APEX pages using "apex/pageName" as the record id in the second format, but it does not seem to work. So there are conflicting sources of information and limited documentation.
Basically, I can find no clear documentation on this.
from IOS app try to open/redirect to a Visualforce Page on SF1
Here is what we are trying to do, and what works so far....
1. Have a visualforce page with a x-callback protocol link in it to an external barcode scanner app. This works.
2. On success from the barcode scanner, call a x-callback protocol link to return the user to SalesForce1. This works so long as we are linking back to a specific record id. HOWEVER, we want to link instead to a VisualForce page and pass it as a parameter the data from the barcode scanner.
salesforce1://sObject/{!record.id}/view

You mentioned -> "you can open APEX pages using "apex/pageName" as the record id in the second format, but it does not seem to work."
I'm sure this is officially NOT supported. The way to do it is for a specific record using
To answer your other question, "we want to link instead to a VisualForce page and pass it as a parameter the data from the barcode scanner."
I would recommend you look at the query parameters and try passing the VF page using
