I'm confused. I think that I fundamentally misunderstood how to use Open Graph stories + deep binding to my iOS / web application. I hope someone helps me clarify the situation. Here is what I have:
- Created a web application that accepts http://mywebapp.com/?video_id=XXXXXXXX
- Properly configured meta tags for application links
- An iOS application with similar functionality that interacts with the API
- Facebook sharing in iOS app.
Here is what I expect:
- See the (ON MOBILE) link in the Facebook or Safari app when I click on the link “Install the application” or “Open in the application” UX
I experimented with just a link to http://mywebapp.com/?video_id=XXXXXXXX '. This does not work. If I don’t go to the object debugger ( https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ ) and the 'Fetch New Scrape Information' for this video_id (i.e. it doesn’t work I work dynamically, page should be cleared.) I also tried using Open Graph to share with contentURL and a combination of custom objects / actions / content / stories, and at no point did the Facebook application offer to open the iOS application (again, if I did not scrap the page beforehand) .
I misunderstood what is possible? I believe that if I scraped the + link to http://www.mywebapp.com , it will work fine, but I want the user stories to be like this:
'User X played video “Y” using MyWebApp, but such a dynamic exchange with the concept of deep link / application link / something seems impossible. Does anyone have experience with this?
