How to share content from my iOS app onto BBM?


I am trying to allow users of my app to share contents from my apps on their social timelines and within their chat messenger apps. Recently I came up with the fact that BBM is actually one of the most common messenger apps in my target countries. Therefore that integration is majorly important in my case. I found some posts around about the URL scheme of BBM on iOS, however nothing really useful as there is not a sound documentation for it at all. I even wonder whether there is a solution through their API using and SDK or alike.

I am much thankful for any help on this topic!


Solution

  • You can invoke BBM with a draft message for the user to send and this is supported on BBM for iOS, BlackBerry 10 and Android. I recently wrote a blog post about this on the BlackBerry Developer Blog. You can find all the details here:
