So I have a website with functional redirects to both the Google play store and the itunes store. Using the WeChat messaging application I can open an in-app browser to view the webpage and do everything I normally would.
The problem surfaces when using WeChat on an iPhone. I can see both links and click on either of them, but the itunes link does redirect as desired. Keep in mind that this is not a problem on Android, both links redirect properly inside the app on my Android phone.
The goal is to have the button open up the actual itunes store app, and not link to the itunes webpage but even using itms itms-apps the connection doesn't go through. On said iPhone in Safari and Chrome, these buttons link properly. It is only in WeChat that the itunes redirect button does not work.
I've tried adding an additional page that the button redirects to, which is
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/myapp/myappid'" /> but it just loads the blank the page and freezes because of the failure to redirect. In fact, simply trying to load http://itunes.apple.com in the app results in failure.
Perusing StackOverflow I found this post about linking to the app-store but none of the answers really helped.
So I'm hoping some one has some idea of what to do or has some experience with a workaround for a situation like this since WeChat is integral to my app's performance.
Update:
I still haven't found a solution to my problem, but I've managed to get a lead. The only link to iTunes that works in any way is http://mzstatic.com, but the problem is that I can't seem to find the proper parameters to link to an app. Everything that I've seen online seems to show using the link to grab images.

I have a html whatsapp link for users to share a website link via their whatsapp application.
I have used the following links to share:
<a href="https://wa.me/?text=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com" target="_blank" data-action="share/whatsapp/share">
or
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=&text=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com
*Note that the shared links are already encoded
I understand that this link will automatically launch the whatsapp app if it is detected on their device, otherwise it would just redirect them to the app store.
However, I am only having an issue with chrome on iPhone 8.
The links work fine on other browsers (Safari, Firefox, Opera)
IOS, Chrome & Whatsapp are all up to date.
Even though whatsapp is installed on the device, it still redirects me to the app store.
the App store has a button which opens whatsapp, but the send shared link message window is not present. it just opens whatsapp like normal.
Is there a fix for this?
I think, as a temporary fix at least, try making the link copy to the clipboard, then give the user an alert that it has happened. I'm not sure of how to fix it, as when I tested it it worked fine, but I'm using a slightly older version of iOS. Perhaps that means the new version made some changes about how this works?
First: Official Whatsapp Sharing Documentation. Try one of the following formats...
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=YourShareTextHere
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=YourShareTextHere&phone=123
These seem to work for me!

I'm sorry. Because I am using a translation machine, understanding may be difficult.

If you do the following operation, a bug will cause a bug in the instagram.
Send the URL in 「direct」 in the instagram.
(iPhone Application)
(There is a form with in the URL.)
(LIKE http://nervgh.github.io/pages/angular-file-upload/examples/simple/)
Click URL from the 「direct」 and the URL opens in app-in browser.
When uploading a file (image) with Form, the page will be reloaded and the entered file will be deleted.
You can upload the same URL in public browser without problems.
We could not add multiple or accept = "image / *" attribute to .
File upload control not working in Facebook In-App Browser
It is an innovative function of my web application and I really want to fix it
Is not there any good way
I have a standalone Adobe AIR application which uses the HTMLloader to embed a webpage and thereby access the Facebook login.
When a user first uses the application thery are first presented with a FB login screen, and then a FB authorization screen, asking if the user wants to share the uploaded image with their friends.
Up until recently everything worked fine.
But it seems that facebook has changed the way the authorization popup displays so my htmlloader no longer can 'see it'. I get a blank page.
The application sees
But should see
Does anyone know of a workaround?
Answering my own question
Supplying an optional userAgent string when I first call login returns an older version of the permissions dialog which renders correctly
How can i create a html 5 page that still works even if internet being disconnected and user press REFRESH (F5) on the browser.
I am referring to this http://html5demos.com/offline page,
it will show Offline when i disconnected my internet, but when i press refresh on browser, it is not working anymore and show page not found.
I want my page to work 100% offline even if user press refresh on browser.
If you want to create an 'offline' HTML5 web application, for example by using androids webview, i would suggest using something like phonegap this will allow you to create web applications while not necessarily being connected to the internet. As far as the html5demos go... im not sure what you are trying to get at...
-hope this helps
What is the preferred URL to use to open an iOS app in it's App Store web page as well as the iTunes app (when available on the host device)?
I've tried using the itms:// protocol but this opens the app details in the iTunes app only and so is of no use when the URL is navigated to from an Android or Windows phone for example.
I believe you would want to look at the browser to determine which link to use. If the browser is Safari on iOS device, give them the iTunes protocol link, otherwise, http://.
I believe javascript allows you to read such information: Take a look here: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_browser.asp
I've discovered that the behaviour of a URL opening an iTunes preview web page before automatically opening the iTunes app on the host device (where available) is triggered by affiliate links (which need to track the click before taking the user to the intended destination).
