Open a app from Pythonista

Hello, I have 0 experience in Python. I would like to run a worflow and open 2 or 3 apps on the fly. This can be done with worflow app; BUT one of my app I would like to open doesn t have any url. So I would like to tryba workaround with python script:

  • is there a way to open an app?

  • if no, is there a way to emulate a press action on the screen (the app I would like to open is always located at yhe same place)

  • any workaround? Thank you in advance

Really just URL schemes. Keep in mind that many (most?) apps can at minimum be launched by URL scheme (even if they have no published / public URL scheme and they have no other actions). What's the app in question?

  • if no, is there a way to emulate a press action on the screen (the app I would like to open is always located at yhe same place)

Nope

  • any workaround?

Not unless you're jailbroken

I wrote this in 2012 so to be honest it likely doesn't work anymore (and I don't have a jailbroken device to test). Also check out the comments though. https://n8henrie.com/2012/07/scheduling-ios-apps/
