Does the iOS version of Pokemon GO contain a URL Scheme for purposes of launching Pokemon GO from another iOS application?

The URL Scheme has changed to com.googleusercontent.apps.848232511240-dmrj3gba506c9svge2p9gq35p1fg654p in version 1.1.0. Version 1.1.1 uses this URL Scheme also.
Discovered the URL Scheme thanks to @rmaddy's comment. The URL Scheme to open Pokemon GO on an iOS device is, b335b2fc-69dc-472c-9e88-e6c97f84091c-3://. Seems like they do not intend for other developers to use the URL Scheme considering the way it is formatted. I'd be cautious implementing this in a published application for now.
Swift example:
// Check if Pokemon GO app installed on device if let url = URL(string: "b335b2fc-69dc-472c-9e88-e6c97f84091c-3://"), UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) { UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url) } else { // Pokemon GO not installed // Do something else } Also, starting at iOS 9 you must include LSApplicationQueriesSchemes in your info.plist.

Have you tested on more than one device?

@Droppy I have only tested on my development device. I'm hesitant to put it in a published application because of the formatting. I'm assuming it will change.

version 1.3.1 uses: "com.googleusercontent.apps.848232511240-dmrj3gba506c9svge2p9gq35p1fg654p"
