allow 3-rd party app to detect installed "OpenVPN Connect"

[Speakus]

Please, allow 3-rd party app to detect installed "OpenVPN Connect".

It's possible to detect 'OpenVPN Connect' installed only if you make custom url scheme.

Use case for 3-rd party app:

Code: Select all

UIApplication * app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
NSString * openVpnCustomUrlScheme = @"net.openvpn.OpenVPN-Connect.scheme";
BOOL installed = [app canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString: openVpnCustomUrlScheme]];
if (installed) {
    [app openURL: url2ovpn];
} else {
    [app openURL: [NSURL URLWithString: @"https://itunes.apple.com/app/id590379981?mt=8"]];
}

Please do this feature - it allow to use this app by 3-rd party apps.
Thanks!
