CDZLinkOpenManager provides a simple & easy facility for your app's users to select a default alternative browser (Safari, Chrome, 1Password).
As an example, this is used on the Settings screen in my BuyVM Manager app.
Add the dependency to your Podfile:
platform :ios
pod 'CDZLinkOpenManager'
...Run pod install to install the dependencies.
Include CDZLinkOpenManager.h in whichever files you'd like to use the library. This header declares several useful class methods. (Most of those are useful when building a browser-picker, but this library already provides a reusable UIViewController for choosing a default browser (CDZBrowserSelectorViewController).)
These methods are all you need to open links in the user's selected default browser:
+ (void)openURL:(NSURL *)url;
+ (void)openURLString:(NSString *)urlString;To allow the user to select his default browser, create and present a CDZBrowserSelectorViewController. It's prepared for presentation in a popover or just in a standard UINavigationController.
UIViewController *browserSelector = [[CDZBrowserSelectorViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:browserSelector animated:YES];This view controller is customizable; see CDZBrowserSelectorViewController.h for details and notes.
CDZLinkOpenManager requires iOS 5.x+. It might work on iOS 4, but I haven't tested it.
