Installing an iOS Smart App Banner
What is a Smart App Banner?
Smart App Banners provide a unified method of promoting apps when viewed in mobile Safari. They show details of the app, its icon, ratings and price information, which is presented as a fairly unobtrusive banner at the top of webpages.
If the app is already installed on a user's device, the banner intelligently changes its action, and tapping the banner will simply open the app. If the user doesn’t have your app on his device, tapping on the banner will take them to the app’s entry in the App Store. When the user returns to your website, a progress bar appears in the banner, indicating how much longer the download will take to complete. When the app finishes downloading, the View button changes to an Open button, and tapping the banner will open the app while preserving the user’s context from your website.
Smart App Banners automatically determine whether the app is supported on the user’s device. If the device loading the banner does not support your app, or if your app is not available in the user's location, the banner will not display.
Implementing a Smart App Banner on Your Website
To add a Smart App Banner to your website, include the following meta-tag in the <head> of each page where you’d like the banner to appear:
<meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=myAppStoreId, app-argument=myAppStoreURL">
For more information and additional options, please see Apple's official documentation about Smart Banners.
