alternative of URL scheme for launching application in ios from another application?

Question

Target Application is not having any URL scheme, and i want invoke it with my application. I also want to redirect to Apple store if the user doesn't have that application installed. Please tell me if there is any other way to open an application from Cordova plugin or JavaScript. Thanks in advance.

Sorry. But unless you have a jailbroken device, there's no way to open another app other than via URL scheme, ie (Swift): UIApplication.open(_:options:completionHandler:) This is so by intention since Apple wants the apps sandboxed and therefore strictly limits the ways apps can interact. Launching via URL is the only way they permit app launching.
