Hello Guys am trying to open instagram app on button click but not able to open

```nohighlight
NSString *instagramURL = @"instagram://app";
NSURL *ourURL = [NSURL URLWithString:instagramURL];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication]canOpenURL:ourURL])
{   
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication]openURL:ourURL];        
} else {
    //The App is not installed. It must be installed from iTunes code.
    NSString *iTunesLink = @"//Your itunes Url";
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:iTunesLink]];
        
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"URL error"
                                                   message:[NSString stringWithFormat:
                                                       @"No custom URL defined for %@", ourURL]
                                                  delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok"
