I am trying to implement a feature like in this question Android Deep linking: Use the same link for the app and the play store but for iOS app.
Currently, my app uses UniversalLink(example: https://www.example/com/code/000000), and if the app doesn't install server redirect to the App Store by link (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/instagram/id389801252 - for example)
but how then after installation open link inside the app?
From this info https://support.google.com/authorizedbuyers/answer/6167336?hl=en
I understand that need some reference like (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/instagram/id389801252?mt=000000) what is ?mt=0000 <- this is deep link or something else?

I'm trying to get deep linking setup in the app I'm working on. I have Firebase Dynamic Link that takes me to the app store page but it will not open the app in local development for ios.
I would like to get this link to open the app if a user has it installed. I seem to have no luck in finding documentation that uses nuxt and capacitor with firebase dynamic links. I have been seeing a lot of swift code for dynamic linking but I am not sure if we can use the swift code since it is being generated by capacitor. I have gone through all the xcode settings to allow for deep links.
Edit: The app opens up currently but I am now confused in how to catch the dynamic links to use for routing.
I need to implement Deep Linking concept without using any third party libraries (Branch and etc..). The link (starts with http/https) will be shared from app through Message, Email or any Social media apps. By tapping on shared link I want to open corresponding app if its already installed on device else it should navigate to the Apple Store to download the app.
I have knowledge on URL schemas but it works only when the app is already installed on device and the schema URL format also be different (like fb:// for Facebook app).
I have also done some R&D on Universal Links but I don't know whether it supports for dynamic links as for me the link will be combination of base URL(static) and referrer key(dynamic). I also need to track the referrer information once the corresponding app is opened like who referred this app (referrer details).
e.g: https://domain.com/ReferrerID
Can you please help me on it. Thanks in advance.
To make it clear on Universal Links in iOS will not take you to Apple Store if app is not installed on device. When you click on a link then Universal Links helps you to open the app if the app is already installed on device else the same link will be going to browse in Safari. When the url browse in Safari then we have to run JavaScript to navigate/redirect to Apple Store.
Yes you can support universal links to your application from iOS 9 or above. You can generate dynamic links and have deferred deep linking also.
Follow this steps its simple Click Here
For the file mentioned in the link you need to add that file in the root of your website which consists of the path valid for deeplinking. And that file should not have any extension.
Then validate your domain at Here.
After that you can add all the domains thing in your associated domain under the project capabilites.
Im making a phone automation system with a web interface. As part of this I am looking to replace all remote controls (tv media center etc) with my phone.
I have a Roku media player that has a remote control iOS app, what I am trying to do is to launch the Roku native phone app from my web interface.
I know it is possible to launch apps via href such as this:
Launches native FB app
But I have tried both these which fail
Fails to launch native 'Roku' app
Fails to launch native 'ROKU' app
So I have two main questions:
Is it possible to launch any app from a web link, or does the app developer need to enable that function in some way?
Answer - Yes the app developer will need to set a url schemer
Is there a way to determine the URL you would need to launch an app IE the Facebook app can be launched by fb:// but can you determine that anywhere?
Answer - There is a link to multiple URL schemers for popular apps below but my understanding is that the app developer would need to release them
Thanks
JS Fiddle just in case - https://jsfiddle.net/0znc12bs/
Update - as a point of reference I am not developing an app this is a
web service trying to connect to apps I didn't author.
Update2 - I have been in touch with Roku support and their remote app
currently doesn't support deep linking.
To open the app from the web url the app developer need to set the id (deep linking) setting and URL Schemas in the app
For the famous app you can find the deep linking url from the net,from that you can make your list to open the app
else you can find on it's site if they have written that
List of sites which can provides some list of url schemas which you can use to open app from the web :https://stackoverflow.com/a/11155918/4557505
In the iOS docs for Google App Invites, under Receiving Invitations, it is suggested that a deep link can be retrieved on first launch if the app wasn't installed in advance:
If the user has not yet installed the app, the user can choose to
install the app from the iTunes App Store. When the app opens for the
first time, the App Invites SDK will supply a deeplink if one is
available.
I've looked through the reference docs for GINInvite and GINReceivedInvite but I don't see any way to instantiate GINReceivedInvite outside of an application openURL call. Anybody know how to actually have the SDK retrieve the deep link in this scenario?
What you are trying I will say is not the correct way. You have to check in Safari web browser if app is install or not. If not navigate to App store
You can find your solution in here How to check if an app is installed from a web-page on an iPhone?
Currently is it possible to do a deep link on a Facebook share post? Here is the use case I'm trying to implement:
I go to a post on my website: http://www.helloworld.com/share-this-post.html and use FB share to share the link.
I open the iOS Facebook app on my phone and click on the link I just shared.
Then if I have the native HelloWorld iOS app installed on my phone, Facebook will open up my native app instead of opening the link in a webview. Else it will take me to the app store to download my native app.
Thanks!
I think the basic idea here is a URL Scheme that you need to create. When a user does the actions necessary to open your app send them to this URL -> which opens your app or takes them to the app store to purchase your app.
Do a quick google search on how to create a URL scheme, its quite simple.
Does this answer your question?
