In iOS 9, we have Back-to-appB button in application A when the application A is opened from application B. You can see Back-to-app button (Back to Safari, Back to App Store) in below picture:
Example pictures
But on iOS 10, we haven't seen Back-to-app button in status bar.
So could you please tell me how to enable this button on iOS 10 and how to use it in coding.
I'm using Objective-C language.
Updated:
I saw Back-to-App button on status bar, but I want to know how to call action of Back-to-App button without touching. We want to use this function to replace OpenURL method. With this way, we can open Safari browser without reloading page.
This feature is also work in iOS10, if your destination application open from source application then this option will visible in status bar.
For Example, your demo app contain url schema like "demo",
and you open you demo app through safari like "demo://" then you can see the "< Safari" button in your demo app status bar.
Deep linking of application A works if the user moves to application B by tapping on link or button from application A.
On the contrary it will not work if you press home button and move to another application.

I am using an online builder for my app(ApperyDotIo, JQM framework). My application works fine with one exception. I have an in-app link to my website. The link in the iOS app, the link takes me to the page but since the iPhone doesn't have a "back" button I can't go back to the app. Looks like you have to close the app and then reopen it to get back into the app.
I tried to set the link to not open in the same window and vice versa.
Any easy work around?
Links and back buttons in Android apps work fine.
Thank you
You can consider using the inAppBrowser: https://docs.appery.io/docs/cordova-jquerymobile-inappbrowser
It will allow you to open the website in the child window of the application (with the "close" button) or in the native browser, without opening the website as application page.
I have universal links set up for a native app. E.g. when I tap a link to my website (say https://my.website.com) from an email app, the native app opens automatically. But when I browse some website, which redirects me to https://my.website.com in safari, all I get is a bar at the top, suggesting me to open in the native app. Moreover that bar is only visible if I drag down a bit, so it's not visible immediately. How can it be fixed? how can I make the app auto-open in such case?
Problem 1: So I am using the Firebase dynamiclink and works fine. My problem is I want to hide the textButton on my status bar (DONOT WANT TO HIDE THE WHOLE STATUS BAR, the buttons) whenever the app opens on dynamic links. See photo.
Problem 2: I accidentally tapped the goo.gl above and now the app is not opening on the dynamic link. It goes to safari instead. how to bring it back to normal?
Problem 1: I do not believe this is possible. It would be great if so, but as far as I know it is enforced by iOS.
Problem 2: paste the URL into the Notes app, long-press on it, and select Open in [App]
When you click on a url from a native app such as the Twitter or Facebook app, a new panel comes up to display the page. When you X out the panel, you are still in the app at the location from where you launched the url. How is this done as opposed to launching the url in an instance of Safari ?
You can use either WKWebView or SFSafariViewController
SFSafariViewController is now widely used to view websites and it looks just like Safari.app (the user can access his saved passwords/cards, and he can use reader view), the problem is that you don't have any control over it.
WKWebView is a replacement for UIWebView and you will have a better control over it but you'll have to add your own navigation and refresh buttons and title bar.
UIWebView. Here is a link to apples developer reference
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIWebView_Class/
I want to open a url that does not exit the app when it is deployed via Cordova / Phone Gap.
UIWebView
Sample UIWebViewImage
I want to do something similar retain the top NavBar of the app, but without the address bar. When I currently visit a url it will open the whole screen into the app, without back/forward buttons or any of the navbar or tabbar navigation.
You need to use the InAppBrowser of PhoneGap.
