[User Story] App-Links: handle intent
User Story
- As a user, I want to be able to download/open apps in App Store, when visiting the specific app website.
Dependencies
Most popular password manager apps:
- [ ] Radio Zu
- [ ] Youtube
- [ ] Emag
- [ ] Tiktok
- [ ] Waze
- [ ] Uber
- [ ] Lidl Plus
- [ ] Duolingo
- [ ] Twitch
- [ ] Twitch
Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] The accessed website displays a banner/pop-up with the download/open in-app option.
- [ ] The redirection and download/open in-app action is performed without issues.
- [ ] Focus for iOS will automatically change the state of the banner/pop-up with the download/open in-app option after the app was installed or uninstalled.
Please note that this is more like a general issue for all the problems regarding App-Links: handle intent.
-User taps on a "download/get this app" link on a site. -They are taken to the App Store mobile site within Focus iOS with no "open in app" option to open the App store native app. -As a result, users will first need to sign in to their Apple account. -If they have the app installed, they will see an "installed" button but still no "open in app" option (although the "open in app" option often shows up if the user taps on the "installed" button once) -If they don't have the app installed, they have to tap on "install", choose which device they want to install the app to, and still not have an "open app" option after the installation has been completed.

Below I will update the table once I will move forward with the testing and I will add information regarding what issues need to be fixed/investigated if it will be the case to contact the website owners in case of rare compatibility issues.

Recent testing on the YouTube app: Note that on Safari while the YT app is installed, whenever I wanna open a link of YT from google, it redirects me to the YT app. Focus is not redirecting and the YT website is opened all the time with no option to open in APP.
