# IOS, button not work after openURL in ios 7

I [coding](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12290/teaching-coding-from-the-metal-up-or-from-the-glass-back) a [ios app](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/160260/what-is-the-best-place-to-hire-an-ios-app-developer), it have muti [button](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/63/how-to-add-button-in-datagridview-in-csharp-dot-net) share by openURL. After fisrt button press, it open safari for share, and when I back to my app, all button is not work. (only ios 7.1, but ios 8 worked fine)

This is my code:

```
-(IBAction)btnFacebook_TouchUpInSide:(id)sender {
    NSLog(@"Touch FaceBook");
    NSString *shareUrl = @"some url";    NSString *shareText = @"some text";
    NSString *shareDescription = @"some text";
    NSString *sharePictureUrl = @"some text";
    NSString *sharingURL = [self encodeURL:[NSString stringWithFormat:                                            @"https://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?                                            app_id=388711667988471&display=page&caption=                                            %@&description=%@&picture=%@&link=%@&                                            redirect_uri=%@", shareText, shareDescription,                                             sharePictureUrl, shareUrl, shareUrl]];
    if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:    sharingURL]]) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:        sharingURL]];    }}

Try this:

```
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:sharingURL]];
```

instead of this:

```
if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:sharingURL]])    {        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:sharingURL]];    }
```

With that you move openURL out of if block canOpenURL
