===== Launching Other Apps =====

From iViewer, you can force other apps to be launched on Button press by assigning the URL Property of the button to a specific URL Scheme for the app you want to launch.

iViewer will then either close or go to the background (depending which iOS version your device is running) whilst the desired app is launched.
