Open iOS app from a Safari without "Open in <app>" prompt

I'm trying to open the app from an HTML page. It's working well, but I need the app to open without asking the permission from the user.

Currently, Safari will ask the user that "Open this page in myapp". I don't want this message box.

How I can remove this message from Safari? I'm using an URI scheme to open the app. It looks something like myApp://domain.

Solution

  • You can't avoid the dialog you mentioned while using Custom URL schemes. This is iOS feature.

    Instead you can use Universal Links to open your iOS App without additional dialog. You need to have control over iOS App to make this happens.

    To simplify Universal Links setup, you can use one of the companies that can setup most of it for you. I am working in Firebase/Google https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/ . Other answer mentioned company that will do this for you as well.
