I have created numerous resolutions of apple-touch-iconfor my website. This means when someone adds my website to their Apple device Home Screen it has that icon. However when you click the icon it opens in a standalone window, rather than in the Safari browser.
I have tried using <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="no">but this doesn't seem to do anything.
Is there a way of preventing this from happening and make the webpage open in Safari only?
I think I found a way. Remove these lines from <head> section:
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black">
And remove minimal-ui from:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, user-scalable=no, minimal-ui">
(if defined)

If your app doesn't have that <meta> tags it should open directly inside Safari (at least mine does).
