For iOS, you must go to YourApp-Info.plist, go to (or create if you don't have it yet) "URL types" Array -> Add one item with the following fields: 1) URL identifier - String - "your app identifier" 2) URL Schemes - Array 2.1) Item 0 - String - "yourApp"

The link you send must match the URL Scheme, like so : "yourApp://whatever". By doing the above steps, the iOS will register your app to be one of the apps to respond to the "yourApp" URL scheme, just like facebook responds to "fb://"

You can find more information here: http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/iphone/ios-sdk-working-with-url-schemes/

Once your app has been opened from an URL scheme, you can continue with the development in your AppDelegate.m in

 - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {

if (url) {
    NSString *urlScheme = [url scheme];
    if (urlScheme != nil && [urlScheme isEqualToString:@"yourApp"]) {

        NSString *path = [NSString stringWithString:url.path];
        NSString *urlHost = [NSString stringWithString:url.host];
    ....

Here you can parse the rest of your URL, in order to bring the user to different screens or any other action.

You will need to register a Custom URL Scheme in your config.xml. This is currently only supported by iOS apps on PhoneGap Build. From the PGB docs :

iOS Only. Allows registration of custom URL schemes.

 <gap:url-scheme name="com.acme.myscheme" role="None"> <scheme>pgbr</scheme> <scheme>pgbw</scheme> </gap:url-scheme> 

• Multiple gap:url-scheme elements can be present.
• name, optional, defaults to the application bundle id. This has to be unique. If a duplicate is found the build will fail.
• role must be Editor, Viewer, Shell or None, optional, defaults to None.
• at least one scheme must be present.
