Issue
My web application built using nuxt and installed as web app on iphone becomes unresponsive after I open or visit an external link from the app. Issue specifically comes iOS 13.4 and above on real devices. Simulators works fine.
Devices
iPhone X and XI (all versions) with iOS 13.4 and above
Steps to reproduce
Open url https://nuxt-min-pwa.netlify.app/ in safari.
Tap on share icon and then add to home screen.
Open app from home screen.
Tap on menu icon.
Tap on second.
Tap on link named ICE.
App will open an external url.
Tap on Back to App button to return to the app.
Tap on second now.
App does not responds. A thin loading bar seems to be in progress, everytime second is tapped. But nothing else happens.
Web app is working fine in iphone8 with ios 13.3.1 and Xcode simulators. There is a similar issue reported on both stack overflow and apple developer forum. Although it specifically mentions microsoft openid, but I am sure, issue comes up with any external url.

I'm finding it hard to get Branch.io deeplinking to work with Intercom.
The Branch link works well when opened via native Messages app - opens the app directly when tapped.
But if we send this link through an Intercom message, and then tap on it on the phone, the result is not as expected:
On iOS
Open Intercom messages view.
Tap on the Branch link (sent from Intercom console).
Browser opens with an alert asking to open the native app ('Open this page in "MyApp"?').
Press "Open".
App detects the Branch parameters on the link and redirects to the correct page.
Expected Behavior
App should detect the link directly without being handed over by browser.
On Android
Open Intercom messages view.
Tap on the Branch link (sent from Intercom console).
List of suggested apps pops up - including "MyApp".
Tap on "MyApp".
App detects the Branch link ONLY, but without the parameters - which then will not redirect to any page.
Now send the app to the background (eg: Tap on home button), and then open "MyApp" again.
Branch will now detect the link with the parameters and redirect to the correct page (this sometimes happens in iOS as well).
Expected Behavior
Branch should detect the link with parameters directly, without the need to send the app to background and reopen.
Does anyone have an idea what I have missed out on? or a workaround?
I was thinking to setup Universal Links by uploading the Association File.. 🤷♂️
Btw, Branch.io configurations are all done and works perfectly with other social media apps.

Often when viewing a website on a mobile device you'll get a notification that a mobile app is available, or if you already have the app downloaded you'll have the option to open the URL in the app.
Is there a native way to do this or are these notifications always custom?
When users click on a link or download a file and the suggestion pops up to open the respective app, that's called deep linking. iOS labels it as Universal Links and Android uses App Links.
Even though the Application is installed in the iPhone, tapping Branchio universal deep-link redirecting to safari and shows a popup to launch the application.
Expected: if the application is already installed, tapping deep link should launch the application.
Pre- requests:
OS: iPhone iOS 13.3.1
Release build in Appcenter
Set custom URL to https://install.appcenter.ms/app (Appcenter)
Generate the Universal deeplink
Steps to reproduce:
Generate the Universal deep-link
Using the deep-link install the application
Again Tap on the same deep-link will redirect to Safari and popup alert with CANCEL and OPEN options
Tap OPEN in safari to launch the application
This is an expected behaviour where Apple prompts the user first time if to open the app. Only if universal links are implemented, it does not ask for the second time. Our AASA validator tool (https://branch.io/resources/aasa-validator/) shows the AASA file to validated correctly but while testing on the install page of your redirected website, it is showing a 404 error. So, we are unable to replicate this on our end to check further.
Could you please share your app store link so as to help us out here.
Also, would request to check our documentation here ( https://help.branch.io/developers-hub/docs/ios-troubleshooting#section-validate-if-aasa-file-successfully-downloaded ) so as to confirm if the device is receiving the generated AASA files. This is a known issue with Apple for iOS 13.x+ where the AASA files do not get ingested into the device and causes the link redirection to show a prompt or a fail.
I've developed an Android app who loads a web app from an url in fullscreen and caches it with application cache. That works fine, so I would do the same for Windows 8. Is this possible? How it's done?
To load any WebSite/WebApp in your windows-8 app, you can add WebView control in your ApplicationPage.
You can find more details/Information regarding WebView control here
and find Code samples for Adding WebView in your app here
For detailed answer, you have to elaborate your question more.
I use the latest Facebook SDK in my iOS app.
It uses single sign on, so even after calling Facebook logout method, when user log in again, dialog window saying he is already logged in fine.
In other iOS applications there is a logout button on Safari web view, so user can simply log out from app.
My question is how I can implement such webView in my application?
I know that I can use FBDialog instead of Safari window to control logout process but I need to have possibility to logout exactly from Safari web view. May be the window with logout button is accessible only in the old versions of SDK?
I am also facing this problem,There is no default method to logout from facebook on safari when the app is under development,may be safari will show logout button when your app goes live on app store
