Hey fellas, Let's Talk Tech.
As we all know Launch Centre Pro was updated to V2.0 on October 2013.
For those who haven't used the app before, #LaunchCentrePro in easy terms is a 'Shortcut for your apps' app. Before the latest update, the app hand basic shortcuts like taking you to write a new mail without having to going to the native mail app or a new message, tweet etc etc., My favorite ones were flashlight and google search and app groups. So basically all the actions you design were straight forward and basic.
Now with the latest update (V2.0) everything has changed with the app and with the iPhone too.
I should say, the new icon is so cool.
Apart from all the awesome minor updates, the one big thing that will change the future iPhone usage is the Expanded x-Callback support.
Using x-callback-url’s source apps can launch other apps passing data and context information, and also provide parameters instructing the target app to return data and control back to the source app after executing an action.
Look up x-callback-url support here.
Another cool feature in this version is, launching Launch Centre Pro from outside using launchpro:// is a remarkable update.
I am still experimenting and having fun with the x-callback-url schemes and I would like to share whatever I encounter. I will update the customized actions I create or I find somewhere.
Before that, here is the list of known apps that support x-callback-url
To start with Clipboard to Twitter Post:
Say, you have a text in the clipboard and want to Tweet it, this action is the one.
twitter://post?message=[[clipboard]]
*/Either paste the above url to the url customizing section in Launch Centre Pro, or
launchpro://import?url=twitter://post?message=[[clipboard]]&title=
*/Open this link in your iOS device which will prompt you to install the action in the Launch Centre Pro App.
I will keep posting other Actions I try.
What will I be talking about in here on Let's Talk Tech ?
I will talk about Technology and stuff happening around in that part of the universe.
