Yes, there is an API to open an iOS app remotely from a Mac app. This can be achieved using the openApplication
function, which prompts for an unlock of the device and, if successfully unlocked, will then open the specified application. This function is particularly useful for scenarios where you need to transition seamlessly from an extension or another app to your main app.
