Handling Play Store URL's

[symbuzzer]

Some links direct to the Google Play Store and check if the application is installed. If the application is installed, it launches the application directly.

Aurora store or fdroid opens on devices that do not have Google Play infrastructure installed. But even if the app is installed, it cannot call the app. Unfortunately, the situation is the same when MicroG and 2 other components are installed.

For example, when you download the Trello application on the Aurora Store and try to log in, the internet browser opens even though Trello is installed and an error message appears stating that the page could not be loaded.

I think we're talking about dynamic links here, and while they are reported as supported starting with version v0.2.29.233013 and commit e00b985d I can also report that this functionality is broken in many cases as the app store's webpage opens up instead of the target app.

An example is using the Satispay app as a payment method for third party apps: you select Satispay as payment mathod in the third party app, pay using Satispay, and then get redirected to the third party app's play store webpage instead of returning to the app and get a payment confirmation. This caused me serious problems with successful payments not being recognized by the third party app.

Another example is the Woov app, where you can create chat groups sharing a link to the people you want to invite: when opening that link, Woov's play store webpage shows up instead of the actual app.
