I have a link that, when clicked, loads a dynamic web page (which performs some operations on the server) and then redirects the user to the installed application. So far, opening a link in the following applications / browsers works great:
- The default browser for Android,
- Chrome - Multiple Versions
- Twitter app
Something similar also runs on iOS and works great.
The following does not work , regardless of what I'm trying:
- Share the link on Facebook and open it from the Facebook application using the built-in Facebook browser on Android (on iOS it works fine). I get an error: "Page cannot be loaded."
What has been done / tried:
The application has the necessary content filters and intent settings correctly, and the filters were configured to process both a custom protocol scheme ("example: //") and HTTP ("http", "example.com") - one at the same time the same time.
Using App Links tags or Open Graph tags (as suggested in any FB literature) did not solve the problem.
Redirecting a user with an HTTP redirect, javascript or meta refresh tag does not work.
Using an HTML link and writing to it does not work.
All of these methods work everywhere, except when using the built-in Android Facebook browser.
(This has been tested with several versions of Android, 2.3, 4.4 and 5.0)
