deep linking - iOS migration from Website to app -


ios. have mobile web site , mobile app same. want user able navigate web app through link. possible feature feasible when app not installed. know can use smart app banners when app installed , feature can implemented then. main problem facing when user asked install app (from smart app banners) particular page of website. how can automatically redirect user same page on app clicked app banner on first launch of app ?

this problem branch, company i'm working for, solves. it's simple explain, quite bit more tricky implement yourself.

apple doesn't allow persist information through install (through app store), you'll need intermediate server. now, depending on devices want support, gets more , more tricky. mentioned you're on ios now, if expand android, becomes more complicated (with fragmentation of android devices , browsers, etc). now, i'll explain ios though. it's 2 step process, starting smart banner on mobile web page.

the smart banner, when clicked, try to
* launch app if possible. trying load via app's uri scheme.
* if uri scheme fails (not installed), send device fingerprint our servers based on ip, model, etc. , send user app store.

the second part within app:
* when launches, needs ask server if launched via link click. (whether directly app or through app store , app).
* sends along similar fingerprint, , server (if device matches) send relevant info (the page id, or whatever use).
* if page id present, need present view controller content user (you may need persist info in app through login, if it's behind auth wall).
