I'm launching a custom app from a web browser on the iphone.
If the app is not installed I am redirecting to a web page on the website.
If it is installed it goes to a specific page on the app
This all works as expected except for about 1/2 a second safari displays a modal window saying the following
Cannot Open Page
Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid.
I know the address is invalid and I would like to know if its possible to suppress the error message in safari.
Thanks
I did find a solution that worked for this. I had it working with a setTimeout of 25ms. But for some reason on a nexus 5 I needed to drop it down to 5ms.
i ended up using the following:
function goToApp(appLocation, fallbackLocation) {
setTimeout(function() {
window.location = fallbackLocation;
}, 5);
window.location = "nativeappURL://" + appLocation;
}
function goToWeb(baseurl, webLocation) {
window.location =baseurl + "/"+ webLocation;
}
</script>
Then I just have two buttons that have an
onclick="goToApp('appDestination', 'location')"
and
onclick="goToWeb('webDestination', 'location')"
