Answer 1

Step1: first app sender-app..
info.plist Add this points
<Array>
LSApplicationQuerieScheme
<string>receiverapp</string>
</Array>
Step 2. add this code in this viewcontroller button action
partial void btnact(UIButton sender)
{
string name = namefield.Text;
var names = name.ToString();
var app = UIApplication.SharedApplication;
var na = "receiverapp://" + (names ?? "");
var uri = new NSUrl(na);
var dict = new NSDictionary();
if (app.CanOpenUrl(uri))
{
app.OpenUrl(uri, options: dict, completion: null);
Console.WriteLine(uri);
}
Step 3: In receiverapp
info.plist add url types
url-scheme = receiverapp
url-identifier = com.receiverapp
Role = Editor
Step 4: in Appdelegate.cs in receiverapp
add this code
public string message;
NSNotificationCenter nc = NSNotificationCenter.DefaultCenter;
public override bool OpenUrl(UIApplication app, NSUrl url, NSDictionary options)
{
message = url.Host;
nc.PostNotificationName("AppInput", null);
Console.WriteLine(message);
return true;
//return base.OpenUrl(app, url, options);
}
Step5: ViewController.cs in receiverapp
add this code
AppDelegate dele = (AppDelegate)UIApplication.SharedApplication.Delegate;
public override void ViewDidLoad()
{
base.ViewDidLoad();
NSNotificationCenter.DefaultCenter.AddObserver(this, new ObjCRuntime.Selector("GetData:"), new NSString("AppInput"), null);
}
[Export("GetData:")]
private void GetData(NSNotification notification)
{
label.Text = dele.message;
Console.WriteLine(label.Text);
}
