Feature Request for iOS Object

[Keith]

It would be great if the iOS object had the ability to tell you whether you can open a particular URL with a evaluation such as "Can Open URL" with an input of a URL that calls this:

[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"urlpassedinbytheuser"]];

For example, I may want to put a twitter icon in my app and clicking it opens up my Twitter account for people to follow. I can now use the "Open URL" on the iOS object to open the Twitter app by specifying the following URL:

twitter://user?screen_name=someusername

However if I could test first that the user has the Twitter app I would know to send them to a website instead of trying the Twitter app. These URLs apply for Maps, Email and just about any other destination (other apps) and using the iOS object to open these URLs works without issue.

Good idea

Yes this would be nice. Could be done for Facebook too.
