Anyone running into trouble with mobile app previews or install links from Magento stores?

Anyone running into trouble with mobile app previews or install links from Magento stores?

I'm working on optimizing a Magento storefront for mobile users, and I'm hitting some issues with app preview links or install prompts not behaving consistently on iOS. Has anyone had success with linking to third-party iOS apps directly from their store or blog content?


For instance, I’ve seen a few sites use this website to sideload or test iOS utilities, and I’m wondering if a similar route could work for mobile-focused campaigns or previews on Magento. But I’m not sure if it might trigger Apple’s security limitations or break the UX.


Any tips for clean mobile implementation or ways around these iOS limitations?

When optimizing Magento stores for mobile, especially if you’re linking to things like the chipotle restaurant menu and prices, using Universal Links or Smart App Banners works best on iOS. Direct install links often cause issues due to Apple’s restrictions.
