Launching another iOS app

So, in the first recipe, we detected whether another app is installed on the simulator/device. Now, we can do something with this information and launch another app.

        Ti.Platform.openURL("maps:");
    });

} else {
    label1.text = label1.text + " Not installed";
}

if (Ti.Platform.canOpenURL("tweetbot:")) {
    label2.text = label2.text + " Installed";

    label2.addEventListener("click", function() {
        Ti.Platform.openURL("tweetbot:");
    });


} else {
    label2.text = label2.text + " Not installed";
