launch iOS app with a personalised message

[Monte Goulding]

Hmm... Could you send a username and pass too? If not then maybe the SMS links to a script that associates their ip with their details then redirects them to the app store and then the app gets that from the script. I think you would want to have a backup username and password though incase their ip changes between download and use or some other issue messes it up.

Cheers
