Re: LC iOS Command 'mergPopActivity'

The subject of this conversation is a bit wrong now, but I will keep so that the thread continues. Looking at this a bit further, it looks like there is more than one scheme for getting one app to open another. I find that the Dictionary entry for ‘launch url’ doesn’t quite conform to the exam
