Accessing mobile device features and applications
Each mobile platform includes features that you can integrate into your application, such as receiving push notifications, saving a date to a calendar application, saving data to a cloud server, or encrypting sensitive data.

Many applications in mobile devices use URI schemes to enable access from other applications. The URI scheme can launch an application and send parameter values to the application. You can use URI schemes in your Objective-C code or in your BIRT reports when building HTML hyperlinks. For example, an HTML link to call a phone number can look like the following code:
<a href="tel:1-888-422-8828">1-888-422-8828</a>
The same link in Objective-C looks like the following code:
tel:1-888-422-8828
Common URI schemes for web views include:
*Mail links to enable a hyperlink to send eā€‘mails
*Phone links to enable a hyperlink to make a phone call
*SMS links to enable a hyperlink to send SMS messages
*Map links to enable a hyperlink to open the map application
