On iOS, I have a deep link that opens the app directly if it’s already installed. If the app is not installed, the user is first redirected to my website, which then automatically redirects them to the App Store. The deep link contains a parameter that should be passed to the app. On Android, this is possible because the Play Store provides a referrer ID after installation, which allows the app to fetch the parameter on first launch. What options are available on iOS to achieve the same behavior — i.e., preserving and passing the deep link parameter through the App Store install flow? I’m already aware of solutions like Branch.io, other deferred deep linking services, and the clipboard approach, so I’m looking for alternative approaches.
