How to trigger app clip from website manually via custom url - ios

I want App Clip to be launched from my website.
Currently App Clip is working perfectly fine because When I open my website on iPhone safari, it automatically shows a banner on top with a button that says: Open App
What I need is that I want to develop my custom banner with a button on my website from where I can trigger App Clip manually because sometimes that banner from App Clip appears a bit late, so I don't want to be dependent on that.
Any idea regarding this? I just need a direction or reference to some documentation that's all.
Thanks

I've faced the same issue previously and as I understand you can launch the App Clip only from smart banner, you can't use universal link as a trigger for opening the App Clip

Possibility to stop opening Google Map app while clicking the logo

I am using Google Map in an iOS app built for a client. I know that the logo at the bottom cannot and shouldn't be removed at any time. I am wondering whether I can disable the click action and stop the app jumping or not, since the client don't want the app to open an external app.

Is it possible to detect another application from the current app in iOS?

I need to create sticky button which is on screen like hike button in ios
If i detect that application(WhatsApp) state event so i solve this problem. Thats why i need to create another application launched event.
Thank you in advance.
Apps on iOS are sandboxed and can not directly communicate with other apps directly. There are some API's in the iOS SDK which allows some interaction, mostly audio, share of items.
Apple does not expose to you app if an other app is launched, so checking that an other is launched is not possible.
The second issue is that you can draw on de screen outside of you own apps windows. So you will not be able to draw a button on top of some other app.

Create home screen quick actions that do not open app?

I have home screen quick actions for my iOS 9 app, but I don't need it to open the app. It actually schedule reminders and that's it. Is there a way to make the home screen quick action not to open the app?
Quick actions are designed to be used to quickly navigate to a section of your app, eg on the camera app there is selfie mode, box mode, panorama mode, timelapse mode etc. These are all sections of the app. To the best of my knowledge you cant have a quick action that just runs code without opening the app. Otherwise how will the user know that the code has worked and it has been executed?
This functionality would be cool but i believe it is impossible as of current. The closest you can get is make it so it opens the app to a ViewController that just says "Reminder Scheduled".

IOS programmatically move apps into a folder at home screen

I am new to IOS, I have a question which is

If yes, can show me how it can be done?
Sorry for my lousy English.
Thanks.
Unfortunately, you cannot do this on a non jailbroken iOS device. Each app is only responsible for what's going on inside the app. There are some exceptions to this (you can run certain logics in the background, subscribe to be woken up as a result of a certain notification, or provide an extension for the user to add to their Today screen or use via other apps), but you have no control over the user's home screen. Positioning the icons there is in the sole responsibility of your user.

iOS caches the application screen when clicking the home button for the device

we are developing hybrid application on Worklight.
After the user launches the application on iOS, he will see the login screen, providing his credentials, he is inside our application.
Now, if the user clicked the home button for iOS before "logging out" from the app, the iOS will take a snapshot and store it inside the device cache.
By using IExplorer, I can see this screen cached, which in our situation a high critical issue.
How can I a override this screen with a white screen, in case the user clicked the home button of the iOS device it will be populated immediately, and the device will not snapshot the user main screen.?
Is there any thumbnail I can add to my nativeResource folder for iOS to solve this issue?
thank you.
I encourage you to look at the Worklight Knowledge Center. In most cases, you will find your answer.
To control the snapshot taken by the OS when moving to the background, you need to use the following API methods, depending on your needs:
WL.App.BackgroundHandler.setOnAppEnteringBackground and WL.App.BackgroundHandler.setOnAppEnteringForeground
