Please remember that Apple has only said they will support plugins for Safari, no direct mention of ad blocking.
If there is ad blocking it will be provided by a third party.
If it is then it will be up to the third party if they want to block this kind of advert. By their nature however "install banners" are typically part of the content (if it's for the site's own application) so a typical ad blocker wouldn't catch them.
If however it's a third party advert showing an app install dialogue/overlay it will likely be blocked, by the fact it will likely come from an ad providing domain.
- SyneRyder 11y agoApple has at least mentioned ad blocking to developers - the example given on the Apple Developer website for how to make a Safari plugin is called "Declarative Ad Blocker": https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/releasenotes/General/WhatsNewInSafari/Art/ExtensionBuilder_AdBlocker_smaller_2x.png https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/releaseno...

- mikeash 11y agoInstall banners are built in to the browser, and just show metadata provided by the site. I strongly doubt they will be blockable.
- robmcm 11y agoYou could ban a scrip loaded from an "ad" domain that modified the host pages HTML to add that metadata. However I was referring to the pop up, tap intercepting redirects to the App Store.
