title: What is the iOS URL schema for Facebook profiles?
body: <pre><code>class func openFacebook(id: String){ //id is a username in this case
      let name = id.replace(" ", withString: "")
      let hook = "fb://profile/" + name
      let hookURL = NSURL(string: hook)
      if UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(hookURL!){
          UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(hookURL!)
      } else {
          UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: "http://facebook.com/" + name)!)
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I try to do this, but it never opens the app. It always opens the browser.
  I'm not using the facebook sdk. I just want to open facebook from my app, to the user's profile.</p>
