Tim Johnsen - Link Handling on iOS

We are at a New Location this Month! 901 Market St, 3RD FLOOR it is also very close to the Powell Street BART Station :)

Tim Johnsen (https://twitter.com/timonus) is the iOS lead at Flipboard (https://about.flipboard.com/) where he's been working for the past four years. He also enjoys working on side projects including Opener (http://www.opener.link/), an app that allows people to open web links within apps, and Tangram (http://www.tngrm.tv/), an Instagram app for the new Apple TV.

The way that iOS handles URLs has changed a lot over the past few years. App URL schemes have been around since the beginning of the iOS SDK, but iOS 9 brings some interesting complications to them and introduces universal links, which are a whole different take on how inter-app linking should work. In this talk, you'll learn about how these technologies work, best practices, and what their pitfalls are. You'll also learn about how Opener for iOS (http://www.opener.link/), a deep linking app, works and some strategies for reverse engineering app URL schemes.

Every month, we meet for some tech talks and free beer. An iOS developer will present their talk and then we'll have an hour for networking and drinks. Topics will stay specific to iOS. Open-source projects are highly encouraged, no product placement in talks. We cannot hold the door open for everyone once the talk has started. You must be RSVP'd to attend the event.
