Cross-app SSO within Q2 extension?

Question

We have a separate member facing mobile app in production and would like to connect our Q2 app to it To that end we are interested in building a Q2 extension for it as follows 1 Add navigation link on mobile does not appear on desktop 2 When clicked extension determines if the other app is installed on the device 3 If so extension switches to the app and automatically completes an SSO login to it 4 If not extension switches to the app s listing in the device s native app store Is this functionality possible to achieve using a Q2 extension

There are two options Neither option really exposes is the other app installed to you the developer instead the OS handles the routing If the other app implements Universal Links https developer apple com ios universal links or App Links https developer android com training app links you would simply use tecton actions openURL http www universallink com nativeBrowserIfInApp true https cdn1 onlineaccess1 com cdn base tecton v1 4 2 Documentation index html capabilities openURL This will take the user out of the Q2 mobile app and into the native browser which from there if configured properly the browser will redirect the end user to the app if installed or the app store if not installed This is the prefered solution for iOS and Android If the other app does not implement this and instead uses URL schemes You will have to use tecton actions openApp https cdn1 onlineaccess1 com cdn base tecton v1 4 2 Documentation index html capabilities openApp Note that this function is only available as of UUX version 4 4 0 90
