Uber iOS app URL scheme?

Question

I am writing a small “brochure” - an iOS application for iOS, and I want to allow users to use the link to open the Uber application with a pre-filled discount code. I usually do this with a special URL scheme, but I cannot find the documentation that Uber supports for this workflow.

While studying, I noticed that uber:// opens the Uber application, but I was unable to guess how to pass the offer code in the URL.

I assume this is not supported, and it is fine, but that would be nice. Does anyone know the features here?

Noted above, but just to close the question.

From Uber support: "You can use uber: // to call an open Uber application, but, unfortunately, we don’t have one convenient or public to connect in the promo code field."

What I did here is put the code in a cardboard and open the application or go to the application store ...

 [[UIPasteboard generalPasteboard] setString:@"THE_PROMO_CODE"]; //be sure this is clearly labeled in the UI to prevent inadventent data loss NSURL* uberURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"uber://"]; NSURL* appStoreURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/uber/id368677368?mt=8"]; if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:uberURL]) { [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:uberURL]; } else { [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:appStoreURL]; }
