How do I make my website url go to app directly?

I was just wondering if it is possible to open web url to app on iOS (maybe too android). Website links on iOS like youtube, kickstarter, and amazon all go strait to the app without having to launch the safari. I know you can do this custom url schemes, but some people don’t have the app. I would prefer to just have one link for everything and I don’t won’t to open a new tab in safari.

Thanks,

Scott

Your website has to include a special meta tag for this:  Something like:

\<meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=myAppStoreID, affiliate-data=myAffiliateData, app-argument=myURL"\>

I don’t know if this of value for Android or not:  https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/android-app-installs#configure_your_web_app
