Omnilinks, AppLinks and the State of Mobile Deeplinking
- benwilber0 12y agoMore interesting than a third-party deeplinking service (URX, AppLinks) would be a directory of deeplink schemes/uris so we could just use them as-is instead of proxying through some other guy
- jmilinovich 12y agowhat would you be interested in doing with that data/index?
- rahimnathwani 12y agoWhen I click an omnilink on my iPhone, and I don't have the relevant app installed, I am shown a dialogue box 'Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid'. However, it goes away in less than a second (before I have time to react and click 'OK'), and I'm taken to the relevant web page. I guess that's the intended behaviour.
- jmilinovich 12y agoyes, that is WOI. Unfortunately, web standards haven't allowed for complete pop-up suppression cross-platform and cross-browser. Fortunately, there are clever ways to make it suck less.
- sriramyadavalli 12y agoIMHO, the hard part in deep linking is connecting existing web app content w/ views inside the mobile app. But, not sure if that can be delivered as a SaaS/proxy service + SDK (since it is too specific to each site).
- sriramyadavalli 12y agoMay be I am missing something. Isnt Omnilink just detecting the user agent (eg Google/Twitter crawler) and presenting the right content to the crawler? Is there something else to this solution?
