OpenURL
Open URL provides a shell that allows you to launch URLs directly from Springboard. To use, do the following:
- Download and unpack the OpenURL tar. This is the OpenURL.app bundle.
- Inside the OpenURL.app folder, edit the icon.png file to reflect your brand identity. This icon appears on the home SpringBoard screen.
- Edit Info.plist with a unique string. It defaults to com.sadun.ReplaceThis. Change it to something different.
- Edit url.txt and replace the current URL (http://waiterrant.net, a favorite of mine) with the URL you want to launch.
- Rename OpenURL.app to the name you want to appear in SpringBoard, e.g. MyBrand.app.
- Repackage the app and distribute. Try to ensure that the openurl executable remains +x.
This is distributed under whatever license means that you shouldn't sell this.
