I think the reason Android works so well is the intent system is well thought out and just works. That just doesn't exist on iOS

That said, for opening links, Google's devised [1] for Chrome-ish on iOS to abstract everything, but I believe (as an Android user and developer myself) that all it takes is a

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:targetURL];

where targetURL is an NSUrl.

Chrome on iOS even allows you to specify a callback URL to return to.
