  I think application:openUrl will do.

  I'm not 100% sure on this - but a friend had a game where he stored some kind of data that could be emailed and then opening the email, the attachment could be viewed in his game. I suspect you'd need a plugin (especially as this is probably iOS specific) to perform the system registration.
  
  @Scouser - any chance you could ask Damon how he did this?

  Maybe this topic will help: http://www.giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/2272/pass-data-to-a-gideros-app

  What you need is to setup a custom URL scheme under iOS. It's pretty easy to do in Objective-C. Then pass the data back to the Gideros lua code (which can be done by directing injecting it into a Lua variable, or as simple as saving it as a file in Obj-C then reading back using Lua. Admittedly, the 2nd option is a kludge, but the degree of difficulty if you're not handy with Obj-c will be more attractive then option 1.)
  
  Here's a URL to get you started:

  You should also check:

  to make sure that there isn't a namespace collision with an already existing URL scheme by another app.
  
  Hope this helps,

  But in Gideros, how can I register a URL Schema?

  To register a URL Scheme, you need to open .plist file in Xcode and create an array key called URL types with a single array sub-item called URL Schemes. Here is a screenshot: https://developers.facebook.com/attachment/iosappid2.png

  Ok, so I will do that when I import the Gideros game to Xcode, right?

  To publish your game, the final step is export as Xcode project+build+send to app store. After exporting as Xcode project, you can do any modification as you want.
