open register event link from within app itself without deeplinking #6

currently you're taken out of the WeBuild app to Safari in order to browse the event registration page, will it be better to use SFSafariViewController to present from within your app instead so the user can easily get back to where they're at?

So I think, from iOS 9 this new feature is available - the native back button to another app. :sob: Can't find the docs. But it looks like this. Hence I did not bother to open it within the app. What do you think?

yup, that certainly works, but I think it might result in users forgetting they were browsing your app after awhile.

the main advantages of this is being able to:

  1. Retain the user's browsing context whilst using your app
  2. Implementing Force Touch

if that's something you want to implement, this guide looks good: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ios-9-getting-started-with-sfsafariviewcontroller--cms-24260

good point :clap: Will code it out in the future iterations. UX is so important :100:
