How to Set Up An iOS and Android Smart App Banner on AEM 6.5?

I would like to know if there are any guidelines on how to setup an iOS and Android Smart App Banner on AEM?

Visitors of our specific AEM site on mobile devices should be able to download a specific app with a simple quick access using Smart App Banner.
I have found something non related to AEM for iOS devices  https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/promoting_apps_with_smart_app_banners

but no suggestion for Android devices.

Hi, 

 

The functionality you are looking for is unrelated to AEM, but it is a regular smart app implementation that you will do for any website. Unfortunately, there is no universal way to do it; there are some 3rd party services which can help with the heavy lifting. In any case, here are some general guidelines to follow in order to achieve what you need:

  • Use JavaScript to detect if the device is mobile.
  • Use JavaScript to detect if the device is Android or iPhone.
  • Display the banner with the correct metadata based on the above filters.

Please refer to this article for more detailed information: https://medium.com/umamitech-blog/smart-app-banners-for-ios-and-android-a-handmade-solution-7785d6bca205

 


Hope this helps
