I have configured Universal Links on iOS, and they're working everywhere on the XCode Simulator. Now when I test my app on an actual device, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. If I open the Notes app and create a new note with my domain URL, I long tap on it, and the menu that opens up has Open in [App] in it, and if I tap on it my [App] is opened. When testing out an oauth flow that redirects to my domain's URL, however, I'm taken to the website in the SFAuthenticationSession instead of back to the app. It's a standalone app built using Expo SDKV37. Anyone had this happen to them in the past? Any way to debug/resolve?
After adding our PWA to homescreen, when going to the login flow, on Android accountkit opens a tab in chrome, whilst on iOS, it opens inside the PWA, then the flow is broken as accountkit gets stuck on the verified page.
Does anyone knows how to force accountkit to open in a browser tab?
You should either use the native iOS and Android SDKs for AccountKit, or if you prefer to continue using the web sdk, you must switch to the "Basic Web" SDK for AccountKit: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/accountkit/webbasic
The Basic Web SDK does not use any Javascript, which is the root cause of the issue in iOS webviews. You can read more about it in the FAQ: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/accountkit/faq/#faq_645353795617467
I am trying to build deep linking feature into my app. I did all the necessary set up for deep linking to work like, enabling associated domains in my app, adding apple-app-site-association to the root directory of my server, and I am serving a valid apple-app-site-association over https, I also validated my apple-app-site-association using this tool Validate your apple-app-site-association.
After doing everything right, I tested the deep linking feature on my iPad and it worked as expected. But when I tried to do the same on my iPhone it doesn't work, it always took me to safari. I tried it on 6s device, I reinstalled the app, I cleared Safari website data & cleared the history. Also updated the iPhone & iPad to iOS 9.3.5. The updating the OS didn't change a thing.
iPad still continue to work with deeplink URLs just like it did while it was on 9.3.4. iPhone still opened the link in safari.
Please give me some pointers on how to workaround this issue, I think this might be an apple bug but again I don't understand how it can work on iPad which is running same software as iPhone. Any help or guidelines is much appreciated.
Thanks.
I was able to fix this issue and this is one of the annoying issue that I have come across, because it doesn't say what is going wrong.
Fix: Whenever the iOS opens your link in safari, you need to pull down the webpage in safari and there you'll see a banner saying that, open it in the app. Once you click on that banner your future links will start opening the app instead of opening it in the safari browser.
There was no error whatsoever and there was no indication why the link was getting opened I am pretty sure that, iOS didn't download the apple-app-site-association whenever I installed the app.
Also note that the banner in the webpage will not be visible whenever your link opens up in safari, you need to pull down the webpage and then the banner will become visible and if you click on open in app banner, it will start opening the links in app.
If in future if you select to view the link in safari by clicking on context menu which appears on right hand side of the status bar, which will be saying "Open in [your app name]" in safari, the links in future will open in safari instead of app, and again if the banner open in app isn't visible, you have to pull down the webpage to see that banner.
HTH.
In iOS 13, similar problem of direct links not opening the app instead it open the safari website directly.
Fixed by updated the below safari setting...
Settings > Safari > Request Desktop Website > All websites > Switch Off
I was facing the same issue in iOS 12, on one device the link redirected to my app and on another device it was always redirecting to Safari and pressing the link on the Notes app was only allowing me to open it on Safari.
What I believe happened was that I pasted the URL in the browser and clicked Go, as I thought it would redirect to my app. No matter what I did ( reinstalling the app, restarting the device, ... ) the results were always the same, redirecting to Safari.
What helped me was deleting the cached data for my domain ( Settings -> Safari -> Advanced -> Website Data -> Swipe and delete the data for your domain ).
After that, everything started working.
I believe this is a bug with iOS Simulator,
In my case it was occurred when I entered an invalid address (with multiple spaces) for example:
Valid One: myApp://order/10003101
Invalid One: myApp://order/1003131
It stopped working even with Valid One and the solution was to clear Safari Website Data:
Go to Settings/Safari -> Clear History and Webstie Data
Device: iPhone 12 Pro Max
iOS: 14.5
Xcode: 12.5
When iOS Facebook's in-app browser loads my web page, I have a link there to "Download App Now" which links to the App Store Page, i.e.
https://itunes.apple.com/my/app/XXXXX/12345678?ls=1&mt=8
If this is loaded in Safari, it launches the corresponding app page in App Store correctly and users can instantly download the app.
However, if launched within Facebook's in-app browser, the browser shows a warning: "Leave Facbook? This web page is trying to open an app outside of Facebook. Are you sure you want to open it?"
If I click "Open App", nothing happens. I've tried changing the link using href, onclick, target=_blank and nothing works, basically FB app just failed to launch the external app page.
Is this a bug with Facebook app? I need the open app link feature as I'm showing a website and wish to redirect mobile users to download the app instead.
I'm using iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.1, and the latest Facebook app. I tried it in my iPad 4 iOS 7, same problem too.
Thanks!
As noted by WizKid, this is/was a known problem. It should be fixed with the most recent version of the app.
I am in the mist of creating a mobile web app and have both meta tags
I have an iphone 5 on 7.0.4
When I click on a regular link like the one below it, opens up a mobile safari window and leaves the webapp. I also tried setting the target to _self and same behavior.
Sign in
I then used my ipad which was on 7.0.3 and it worked as should, not opening mobile safari on links. I think proceeded to update my ipad to 7.0.4 and the same issue as I had on my ipad.
Anyone ran into this issue and or knows a fix ?
Thanks
Since iOS 7.0.4 all links in WebApps open in Safari. As a workaround you can use Javascript:
window.location.href='text.html'
But remember that these steps will not be captured in history (so there is no ability to use Javascript like history.back() ..).
Alternatively, if you are using a menu in your web app, try to combine iframe and Javascript, you can change the content of your iframe with this Javascipt:
document.getElementById("frame").src = new_content.html
This will prevent your WebApp to open up links in Safari and stay in WebApp view.
