Open iPhone App from an Email Link - iphone

I've working on a program where an email is sent to a user, and a link to open the iPhone app is embedded in the email. The problem is that when the user clicks the link to open the app, mail has stripped out the colon, so the link no longer works!
The link being created basically looks like this:
#"<BR><BR><BR>Open App"
But the link, when clicked in the email, opens this in the browser instead:
myApp//
with no colon, so the app doesn't launch and the browser says it can't find the page.
Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

It just should be:
#"<BR><BR><BR>Open App"
As a workaround for custom urls being blocked by gmail, what you could do is set up something like http://myapp.mydomain.com/ up do redirect to myapp://... That way it'll look like a normal domain but open your app. On the plus you will be able to see how many people click your link, though on the down side it'll pop via Safari first.

Add 'http:' to all your images and urls, iphones dont recognize links w/o that. also use single quotes for them(').eg.
<a href='http://xyz.com'></a><img src='http://xyz.com/pqr/abc.jpg'></img>

This url has been identified as malicious and/or abusive

I`m a developer of Facebook login app for website. When I'm trying to save changes in my Facebook web-application settings, getting this error "Site URL has been been identified as malicious and/or abusive." I can't save anything while field "Site URL" contains my domain name. What am I supposed to do?
Go to facebook.com . Try to share the url. You will get a dialog saying the url is bad and in the button there will be a link if you don't agree and you want to report it.
simple solution is to disable facebook button, so that facebvook change their aggressive globalism political tactic of changing their ways for developers constantly forcing to change their code, like google does with google login.
Other solution is to, according to:

First go to:
https://global.sitesafety.trendmicro.com/
and check if your URL appears as non safe or as Untested
Click on reclassify --> url reclassification request
Then select the option SAFE
Suggest a category
Add your email
click the button to proceed, then go to yuour email and click the link that trendmicro sent to you, then wait

How to send a Facebook page as url using the Facebook send button?

I will try to explain a bit the context for my problem.
Context:
A while ago I started working on Facebook application. One of the requirements is to be included in a Facebook page as a tab. This application will contain on a page a send button in order to be able to make it more engaging with specific people, users of the application would choose on their own. The reason behind this is because the Facebook page containing the application is related to alcohol, and "liking" the application will get more audition and potential children. Another reason for using send button rather then other similar options from Facebook (like send dialog etc.) is because in Facebook documentation was stated that send button works on mobile devices and other options don't.
Problem:
My problem is related to the send button. What I need is to be able to completely configure the send button: url, image, title, description. I have research the open graph tags in order to be able to do this. Everything works fine if the page I want to be sent with the message is a website OUTSIDE Facebook. Once I started to use the url of a Facebook page (let's call it www.facebook.com/mycustompage), then the crawler takes the images, title, description from facebook.com ignoring the actual page and the produced message is not what I want.
I have searched a lot to better understand this limitation and could not find anything relevant.
The only article I could find as a potential solution was (and even this I had trouble finding):
Send button returning error codes, like button works fine
The above discussion is a workaround which I have already put in place but is not 100% what I want. The described workaround is about putting in the send button:
<div class="fb-send" data-href="http://www.mycustomdomain.com/og"></div>
a page that sniffs the user agent. In case the user agent is Facebook crawler to serve an html empty page just with the open graph tags, otherwise redirect to the desired URL - which in our case is the facebook page www.facebook.com/mycustompage.
The message produced contains:
the title which is a link to www.mycustomdomain.com/og which when
clicked opens a page in a new tab with the address
www.facebook.com/mycustompage - this is relatively ok
under the title I have a "sub-title" readonly text containing the domain of the link: www.mycustomdomain.com - THIS IS NOT OK since I don't want to share where I have hosted the application.
the image and the desired description - this is ok.
Conclusion:
What I want to know if there is a better way to do this rather than this workaround.
If not I would like to know how I can hide for the produced message the "sub-title" so that the hosted domain is not visible.

How to put a like box/button on a Dreamweaver MX v6.0 designed site?

Basically i'd like to put a like button on the website so that fans of the site can like the websites Facebook page.
The Like button page doesn't give me the code when i click the button, just says "Only verified developers can be added as listed developers of this application. Read www.facebook.com/help/?faq=17580 for details." Is this a common error, or?
EDIT: Using Like box now, but would prefer Like button.
And the like box page gives me the iframe and XFBML codes. Sorry for being a n00b, but how do i add either one onto my site? I've tried Insert > Script and pasted it in there, using all four script types (Javascript, JS 1.1, JS 1.2 and VBScript but they don't show in the preview. Placed the code under the 'back to top' button at the bottom of the page. Not showing up when i look at code view of the online version though?
Hopefully its something really easy and obvious, but any help would be great.
Again, site is designed/updated with Dreamweaver MX 6.0.
I dont have that much experience with Dreamweaver - but implementing the facebook social plugins (eg. Like button) is very simple. All you have to do is copy and paste the XFMBL you generate from this link. Once you paste your URL into the "URL to Like" field and click "get code" you should get the correct code to use...
You place this code wherever you want it to appear - if you want the like button to be in the footer just paste it there...
The code snippet actually loads the facebook javascript sdk and places your like button inside an iframe on your page...
You can not place the like button code inside a different element - if that were possible people could trick you into liking their page by writing some different label on the button - eg. "Back to top" :)
This should be relatively simple to implement. If you are still having dificulties - why not try opening a new HTML file containing only the required HTML tags and the like button code...
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
The error appears because, just like it says in the message, you are not a verified developer.
In order to be a verified Facebook developer, you need a verified Facebook account, with a credit card or a phone number verification.
I'd suggest you verify your account as soon as you can if you plan to use more of Facebook's plugins and apps, since it will give you full access to their developer tools

Link to my app that opens in mail on the iPhone, or the PC desktop

I'm trying to email someone a link to my iPhone app in the app store.
I've tried Apple's app-link-maker.
I've tried many of the suggestions here (and elsewhere) to use http: or itms: or itms-app:.
Or to use itunes.apple.com or phobos.apple.com or ax.search or several others.
I can't seem to get ONE link that works in both situations:
1) The user might be reading his email on his PC at home.
2) The user might be reading his email on his iPhone.
Various tries will always fail in either 1 of the 2 situations, when the user clicks on the link in his email.
("Can't open iTunes." "Too many redirections." Or it incorrectly tries to open the music-store instead of the app-store. "Can't find that app." Wastes time opening a browser on the iPhone, only to close it, just to open the appStore.)
Is there some magic link that I'm missing?
This one is easy
Go to the app in itunes
when you are in app's description page click on the grey drop down button under the large icon
select 'copy link'
paste link into an email
Voila
