I'm building an app which relies on switching from a web browser, to a native iOS app, using a universal link.
What I'm confused about is: what is the iOS policy for when the following will happen?
- An app switch can take place, vs
- The user will be redirected inside Safari
Here's the behavior I've observed so far in different cases:
1. Do app switch on page load -> goes to web
2. Do an app switch on button click -> goes to app
3. Do an app switch on button click with <1000ms delay -> goes to app
4. Do an app switch on button click with >1000ms delay -> goes to app in iOS 13, web in iOS 12
5. Open a popup window on button click, and from there do an app switch -> goes to app
I want to make sure whatever I rely on, won't be broken by a future iOS release. Is the policy here documented anywhere, or does anyone have a contact who works on iOS who can elaborate on this?
Thanks!
