I want to track installs of my iOS app associated with a Facebook ad. I'm having trouble implementing the exclusion of users part. On the docs I see the following: "Provide a deep link for your app when creating an ad under "App Exclusion URL"". But I'm not really sure what kind of deeplink do I need and I don't even see the "App Exclusion URL" option when creating the ad. Any help would much appreciated! Cheers!
This would the URL scheme you have defined in your app which can be used to open your app.
See the introduction to URL Schemes in the Apple Developer documentation.

I am trying to make my React-Native app redirect to the store so users can update the app faster instead of searching for it.
I found a package which helps me with getting the store links.
For the android it asks for the packageName which I got. For the IOS however it asks for appID and I don't know where to find it.
Any ideas on how I could locate this ID? Google isn't very much of help because so much SEO on apple's side I get iCloud results.
Follow the below steps to get the appID:
Go to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/
Click on "My Apps"
Select the app you need the appId of
To the left of the page, you will find App Information under General Header.
Click on the "App Information" button.
Scroll down to General Information and find the "Apple Id"(AppId) of your application.
That should do it! Cheers
Well this question seems silly but its just the need now. I want to share my iOS app via any messenger so that other person can install it in its iPhone and test it.
I also want to know about the further process such as -
How to install app after receiving it.
you can use UIActivityViewController to present the sharing apps inside your app and you can send the itunes app link and message via that.
Now when somebody gets that message, he can touch the link you shared then it will redirect the user to your app in the appStore.
Please check the below link:

If your app is live than share itune link. if your app is not on appstore then create a url of app using enterprise certificates and share url. here are some tools for create url.

Update:- You must need an apple developer or enterprise account for share and run app in real iphone device.
Before I uploaded the Xcode binary to iTunes Connect, I could only use the following link for app store to my app store page for game.
http://itunes.apple.com/app/id123456789
Now my app status is "pending developer release" and when I click on "view in app store" in iTunes Connect I now have another link...
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/App-Name/id123456789?gs=2&bh=3
Which link do I use now, does it make a difference even?
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/App-Name/id123456789?gs=2&bh=3
This URL is Standard App Store Links.
http://itunes.apple.com/app/id123456789
This URL is short link.
The difference between these two is length. You can choose either one you like.

It doesn't matter if you keep use before link
I am new to App Link and learning the basics. I was looking at the documentation and could not find the answer to this question. We are in our beta testing, using Testflight with external testers. We want to use App Link from FB directly to items in our app ( or direct users to our web page so they can sign for beta). I was wondering if App Links and the app index will work with apps that were installed via Testfligth and not the Apple App Store? Thanks for the help!
Sure it will, as long as you have the right URL schemes registered in your plist.
App detection on iOS is done by using the custom scheme you specify in your app link, and calling canOpenURL on the device. If your app is installed on the device (regardless of whether it's testflight or from the app store), then canOpenURL will return YES for that particular custom scheme.
I am trying to add a custom B2B App to iTunes connect, from Apples documentation it appears there should be a text box to enter the clients Apple ID, but I don't seem to have anything like that.
Here is what the Apple Documentation looks like Apple Doc
And here is what I see in iTunes Connect Link
How do I add the Apple ID's for the custom B2B Apps distribution ?
You are not crazy and are adding the Apple ID correctly.
Currently there is an issue with Apple's site and it is preventing the adding of apple ID's. The page will just refresh after hitting the "add Apple ID" button.
I have tested this in Chrome, Safari, and Mobile Safari. I even have an open ticket where Apple support verified the issue with their test accounts and mentioned there are 4 other tickets open at the time I called it in.
Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do different. If you haven't already, you should call Apple Support and start a ticket for it so you get notified when it is fixed.
EDIT
It took over two weeks but as of 04-02-2015 iTunes connect has been fixed and you will be able to add Apple IDs for B2B apps.
Hopefully that helps.
