Using the iTunes Link Maker, and with reference to this answer, I've created a test app that can launch the iTunes app and list the episodes of a given podcast:
NSString *address = @"itms://itunes.apple.com/<country code>/podcast/<podcast name>/id<numeric ID>?uo=4";
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:address]];
But what else is possible?
- From my app, can I launch the iTunes app to start downloading a particular podcast episode?
- From my app, can I launch the iTunes app to start streaming a particular podcast episode?
- From my app, can I launch Apple's new Podcasts app if the user has it installed?
