Is there a way i can configure branch link not to open ios app even if it installed on the device and redirect to my website. Keep in mind this is only for some cases where i dont want to open the app
Thanks
Alex from Branch.io here: yes, this is possible! Just set the $web_only control parameter to true when creating the link in question.
Full documentation here.

Seems a few people had the issues too, but didn't figure a solution yet. For example I am having exactly the same this one.
Also according to this a reliable way to test if the universal link set up properly or not is to test the link in the notes app, which works for me. (Also works if I send the message with the link to myself.) However I can't open the app directly in most chat apps (eg. slack, discord) nor safari. On the other hand they works with the preview page on.
Anyone had a fix / workaround? Or that's just how it is (saw this might be issues with app trying to open the link in there build in browser and prevent redirecting somehow ?)
Any help or suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I had the same issue, enabling both universal links and custom url schemes for my dynamic link solved the issue.
Dynamic Links -> Edit Link -> Define link behavior for iOS
This is the setup:
I'm using Branch SDK for creating deep links and sharing them. If the app is installed, the link should've open it. But the link is always redirecting to app store except for the first link. The first link opens the app perfectly but any new links always redirect to the app store even though the app is installed.
I followed all the steps from documentation, https://docs.branch.io/pages/apps/ios/
but still no luck. Can you please help me find the problem?

In my one of the apps I have implemented branch.io.
I have read each and everything and settled my account accordingly.
Now what I want from branch.io
1) If app is present in device it should open on the click of
marketing url.
2) If app is not present in device then it should redirect to app
store application page.**
What is not working
1> Though app is present but it is not opening my app. From same url
schema I can open my app from safari browser "appname://" but not able
to open from link of branch.io. It always opens app store page.
Please help me.
Thank you
Alex from Branch.io here. What you want from Branch is exactly what we do, so let's figure out what is going wrong!
This sounds like a Universal Links configuration issue. If you did not get Universal Links set up fully, then Branch links will redirect to the App Store. If you haven't yet set up Universal Links, go ahead and complete this guide to get started. If you have set up Universal Links, we have a troubleshooting guide you can run through to catch most issues.
I am trying to implement branch.io for deep linking but there are few issues eating up my life. I tried searching up but ending no where.
Even after setting bundle identifier and team id for universal app linking, app does not get open.
Setting iOS URI Scheme to some myapp:// does not help.
Alex from Branch here: it sounds like the Universal Links configuration process hasn't been completed in your app yet. Just setting the Bundle Identifier and Team ID unfortunately isn't quite enough.
Take a look at the full implementation guide here and see if it helps. We would also be happy to see a support ticket since that way we can look into the back end of your account and debug from there too.
Recently i got an order to create a iOS app. The problem is that the man made the order is really far from me and he want to test the app before i publish it to iTunes. He is not a developer himself. How that could be done?
Its very simple.
In one word: TestFlight
You can use below link. The only thing you need to do is to make zip of your build and drag it to the area provided in site. It will provide a link which you can open on test device on browser and all the things would be done!!

You can try This for wireless installation
