I created a download link for the Google Play Store app with the tag.
PC/MOBILE Web view is working.
But In the app, it's not working.
Also, App Store download link is wokring.
I think it's a google play store problem.
This is sample code.

I'm searching for a way to open an Android Instant app in a mobile browser.
The app supports app links (deep linking in http/https).
My Android app is working as an instant app and can be opened by an app link in different apps that are not browsers (Gmail, Whatsapp, etc.).
I have concluded that the only way to be able to have an instant experience in browser apps is by using Firebase Dynamic Links.
The only way it works is by using short Firebase Dynamic Links (without app parameters in the link). I need to be able to build the link manually with parameters, so the app will know it's desired actions.
In order to use Firebase Dynamic Links, I've:
set up all basic requirements in my app for Firebase Dynamic Links.
set up a sub-domain and enabled it in the Firebase console (the Hosting section).
created a long dynamic link manually (described as the only way to send parameters by link).
example:
https://sub.example.com/?link=https://example.com/some-path/file?param1=value1¶m2=value2&apn=package.name.com
This long link works (in mobile browsers) only if the app is installed / is in cache.
If the app is not installed, the app's play store page opens and offers to install / try it (as instant app).
I've contacted Firebase support, and got a solution:
Adding the "afl" parameter in the link with the value of the app link.
Example:
https://sub.example.com/?link=https://example.com/some-path/file?param1=value1¶m2=value2&apn=package.name.com**&afl=https://example.com/some-path/file?param1=value1¶m2=value2**
The Android app links work properly if the user follows the following steps:
Verify that you are logged into Google, Chrome, and Google play with the account you plan to use for the instant apps.
Go into Google Play Store settings, find the tab for Instant Apps and Enable Instant Apps enable Instant Apps
In your website add html to index.html or the equivalent file where you want to place the embedded link such as this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>HTML Links</h2>
<p>HTML links are defined with the a tag:</p>
This is a link to the instant app </body>
</html>
The instant app linking will only work from links embedded within an app such as in gmail or Chrome and not from directly pasting the url in a browser navigation bar.
If you have any questions about this approach, please let me know.
I'm working as a web developer for a start-up that has a andriod app prototype. I'm not an app developer ( still learning) so I'm a little unsure how to approach this.
I wanted to deeplink the app to the webpage. I came across this solution called Branch.io . It looks like exactly what we need but I'm not sure how to link it with an unpublished app. Maybe I'm missing something. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
The Branch service actually doesn't depend on the App or Play Store at all. The link will first try to open up the app, but fallback to the store pages if not installed. You can override this fallback to any website, and the links will still function as usual.
To test an app not in the Play Store, first choose 'Custom URL' in the Link Settings dashboard, and fill in the page you'd like to send users when the app is not installed. It's common for people to send users to either their home page or TestFlight app.
Then, to test the deep linking through install and download tracking, just do the following:
Create a Branch link
Click it on your phone or on simulator and wait to be redirected
Run the app from Android Studio/Eclipse
Here are some more testing considerations. Happy linking.
I've looked through the API documentation on Instagram and researched the web, but I haven't been able to find a consistent answer to whether it's possible to download your own Instagram photos via a web app.
For example, I'm trying to write a web app which allows users to authenticate into their Instagram account, and then download all their Instagram photos into the web app and display it.
The closest thing I've seen on Instagram is the following url: http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/media/#get_media
But can someone confirm if this is the correct endpoint? Also, if this is the correct endpoint, assuming that I uploaded a high-resolution photo, would that photo be available for me to download in high resolution via the API?
You can do it easy with Google Chrome and you don't need the API:
I wrote a small ES6 script that does just this ( let's you view and save instagram images and videos on right click )
Here's the code:
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', (event) => {
const elements = document.elementsFromPoint(event.clientX, event.clientY);
const mediaSource = elements.find(element => /img|video/gi.test(element.tagName)).getAttribute('src');
mediaSource && window.open(mediaSource, '_blank');
});
What it does is when you click on image or video, it get's all elements under the mouse, finds the image/video and opens it in new tab. Then you save it.
Also, it's available as a Chrome Extension
Download instagram images of a particular user or tag using python. Source is included both console and GUI. Install all the dependencies before running. Remember this code is not optimized for python 3. Make sure that the profile is public or else only the profile picture will be downloaded.
link to my github repo:https://github.com/techweed/instagami
Its a python2 script and you need to install it for this to work.
The images would be downloaded to your working directory.
I am making mobile app using Sencha touch which will be bundled as native app and installed on devices. In my app on certain pages I want to add "share" functionality which is supposed to post some data to user's feed. While testing on browser I can to do that by opening a window with FB sharing url like "https://m.facebook.com/dialog/feed" or "https://m.facebook.com/sharer.php" and passing all related params as explained in https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/
But when this app is bundled and I share with this, user is moved to browser and cannot return to app because redirect_uri cannot point to app which is why I wanted to open this dialog within my app, probably in an iFrame. This is also not possible because these dialogs are not allowed to be embedded in iframe by META tags and in order to surpass it I have to do user login which again is another dialog which I cannot open in my app's iFrame.
I also looked at sample sencha app http://blooming-day-7830.herokuapp.com/ but it also takes user to separate login page instead of opening in-app dialog.
So my questions is how does hybrid apps connect with FB without moving out user to browser?
if you decide to use PhoneGap you can try the following two options. You will have to check for the iOS version before you switch your Phonegap call to. . .
Option 1 : for iOS before 6.0
Phonegap has a pretty nifty ChildBrowser plugin that you can use to load the FB share page without leaving the app for iOS 5.0 and below.
Option 2 : for iOS 6.0+
Facebook Share functionality has now been added to iOS. So all you have to do, is call a custom plugin class that you create, and call the standard FB share code using a basic Phonegap plugin call. You won't leave the app, the ChildBrowser doesn't have to show up, instead, you'll get the stock iOS-FB share sheet that will show up, you can add pictures, text, and so on, and post to facebook.
Since some weeks Facebook displays ads for apps in their iOS client. When you click on them the App Store apps detail page opens as a modal view controller inside the Facebook app.
I only know how do open App Store pages via their URL, but how to show a App Store page from inside your app?
