Is there a deep link that will open a page in Safari from another app?
I have tried
safari://https://www.google.com
safari://www.google.com
but it doesn't work. I get the pop-up asking if I want to leave the current app, but Safari doesn't open.
This is the equivalent for Chrome, which works:
googlechrome://www.google.com
safari-https://www.google.com ...
is the simple solution to this issue

I run into an issue with Universal Link that once the Universal Link is opened by Safari, it won't able to open by its app.
Seem iOS does remember the last app used to open the link.
But when I copy the link into iOS Notes app, long-press, select Open in "App Name" and the issue is gone! (Check the screenshot)
Does anybody know how to force to open an app like iOS Notes app?
Or does anybody know how to check whether the URL has been remembered to open by Safari by iOS?
I did try by open(_:options:completionHandler:) & specific options [.universalLinksOnly: true] but it doesn't work
Thanks all 🙏🏿
This article may help.
When a user browses your website in Safari and taps a universal link in the same domain, the system opens that link in Safari, respecting the user’s most likely intent to continue within the browser. If the user taps a universal link in a different domain, the system opens the link in your app.
I have the following problem:
I have a PWA in iOS and I want to open an external link(<a>...</a>) (Not as a PWA window) as a download link. A new window opens, but unfortunately I can't get back into the PWA. I am virtually stuck in the iOS download window.
Using target="_blank" does not help unfortunately.
Does anyone have the same problem and know how to solve it?
Many kind regards
I can open iTunes fine from IE or Safari using an itms:// link. However, when opening on Chrome, the same link doesn't open the desktop program for iTunes.
Does anyone know a link that will open iTunes from Chrome? Apple is able to do it somehow, but it appears from looking at their page source that they may be running some sort of script to do that. I would be open to the possibility of using a script if someone could point me in the direction of how to do so, but ideally a single link that would work across browsers is ideal.
Edit: It appears iTunes uses an itmss:// link when opening iTunes, I've been using an itms:// link. However, copying and pasting the exact link Chrome tells me its opening when I click "View in iTunes" into the omnibar of Chrome only Google searches the link, it doesn't actually open iTunes. Any ideas as to what "extra things" Apple is doing with that link to get it to open in iTunes?
I've solved this for anyone finding this page in the future. You can't type the itms:// link directly into the omnibar. When I made a simple HTML page with only the link on it and clicked it, it opened iTunes up fine for me.
I just solved this problem after so many failures. Hope it may work for you.
Well, if you are using VPN, just switch from "Auto mode" to "Global mode". Later, reopen that iTunes page. That's all. It is super easy but useful.
I have a Problem. On Android, Chrome Mobile Devices when i open my website from the Facebook APP my popup is working. e(Popunder)... But when i open the same on my IPhone, iOS, it redirects automatic to about:blank!
Does anyone know this problem?
Regards
Regina
EDIT:
Okay.
1) My Website has got an Popunder script on it from Adcash. 2) When i open the site on iOS, Android, or Desktop the pounder is working very fine. 3) When i open the site on Android, Chrome, etc. from the Facebook inApp is working fine.
But !!!
When i open the site from iOS(IPhone) from the Facebook inApp it will redirect to about:blank empty page...
Do you understand know the problem? I tried many weeks to solve this issue but i don't know why it is so.
I've come across this issue.
On iOS only, and on either Facebook or Twitter's in-app browser
Tap on an article/link
Within the article, tap on a link that goes to a different domain and has a target=_blank attribute
The window is now white with the url set to about:blank
This issue is cross-product and not only Facebook's end.
The only method to address this issue was to change the target attribute from _blank to _self.
I'm trying to see if other people have had this issue or even addressed anywhere else, but this post is the closest I've come across to seeing it addressed.
I have a web app that allows the user to add the web page to his home screen on the iphone.
That functionality exists with Safari.
Now they released the chrome browser for the iphone too. My question is how can I instruct the user to add the web page to his ios home screen. The chrome browser doesnt seem to have that functionality..?
Can I add a shortcut from chrome options so that it would appear on the iphone home page?
For completeness:
https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/installtohomescreen
Does Add to homescreen work on Chrome for iOS?
No.
Can't change the default browser, but try this (found online a while ago). Add a bookmark in Safari called "Open in Chrome" with the following.
javascript:location.href=%22googlechrome%22+location.href.substring(4);
Will open the current page in Chrome. Not as convenient, but maybe someone will find it useful.

Works for me.
The is no API for adding a shortcut to the home screen in iOS, so no third-party browser is capable of providing that functionality.
