Create Non-HTTP iOS Link App
If you allow the Shortcut application in iOS, we actually put a shortcut in the iCloud.
https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/(UID of shortcut)
The shortcut can do anything that you can configure in the Shortcuts application including launching the ms-apps:// and calling a browser.
We then published this iCloud link as a weblink to the users devices. Clicking the link opens the Shortcut application. They are then prompted to add the shortcut to their device then we put it on their home screen. When they need the app ours actually launches Jabber for instances and dials a number automatically.
The web link is put on the second page on the device in a feature policy and then we remove it later after the button was fully deployed.
- Hi Justin,
That's what we're currently doing, however most of our employees struggle with technology and pressing the small buttons needed to add the Shortcut to the Home Screen is difficult for them. It isn't feasible for us to help all of them so we've been doing so on a case-by-case basis, but I was hoping to cut out the middle man, so to speak.BFoster385 Unfortunately, I am not aware of getting that pushed to device in my experience other than those methods.
