iPhone Shell - is there any?
- by alee
While working on iphone security architecture, i came to know that i can run applications from other applications in iphone. referring to the following url http://iphonedevelopertips.com/cocoa/launching-other-apps-within-an-iphone-application.html
for example, i can put a link in a website with following hyperlink
skype://
will result skype to run and call at particular number. Now i have few concerns here.
is there a shell running in background in iphone, so that it allows other application to run basic app commands.
if the above statement is true then how can i enable or run commands directly into iphone shell?
if above statements are false, then could you please explain how these commands are being executed?
is this part of iPhone SDK? or this funcationality is iPhone OS
