So I have next issue. My app export some images to Path(some social network, as I think), and I use Amazon appstore for sharing my app. But the authentication page of Path, which I fetch in webview has a link to Apple Store and Google Play Market, that's very bad, because of amazon policy disallows such links and I can't publish my app. Here is example of such authentication page - https://partner.path.com/oauth2/authenticate?response_type=code&client_id=1b81bf92642176a90222d90c5ca5c2c6937f4dd7.
First of all, I tried to find some way to edit downloaded page - use javascript to get code of page, delete a link and fetch it back to webview. But after such manipulations webview stop to respond on clicks and I can't log in. I done smth like in this post - Is it possible to get the HTML code from WebView.
So I ask your help guys in next issue - I need working variant of authentication page of Path without any links to any markets.
everybody! It's not possible to edit the page in way it will working correctly after it. So I was forced to delete this function from my app.
Also I have written an email to Path team - they just answered that they don't going to change their authentication page in near future.

How can I post a link to my website in a Facebook post, and have it open in the user's external browser when using smartphone app, not Facebook's native browser, which is not displaying properly? My page is http://www.hannabery.com
On Android, you can use Firebase Dynamic Links to let user open specific URLs by external browser. I guess that Android webview is equipped with some Firebase SDKs, so this method only works on Android. User still opens link by in-app browser on iOS.
Create a project and a domain for dynamic links
Manually create the link like: https://DOMAIN.page.link/?link=YOUR_DEST_URL
(Or there're many other ways to create links)
For example, post this link on Facebook or Messenger and try it:
https://fugle.page.link/trade-landing-page
Note: Dynamic Links are mainly used to provide consistent and smooth UX across platforms and app installs. This is just a side effect I discovered may help to answer the question, and it may not last long and so should not be taken as the final solution.
Hope that this way can help you:
var ifc = document.createElement("div");
ifc.innerHTML = `<iframe src='${browserScheme}${target}' style='width:0;height:0;border:0; border:none;visibility: hidden;'></iframe>`;
document.body.appendChild(ifc);

https://github.com/huantt/force-open-browser/tree/master I thought this one only worked when link is sent on messenger. But any link clicked on fb messenger is going to ask what browser you prefer. I used the code on my page and I posted the link on FB and it is opened by the FB browser. How annoying :(
This cant be done (for obvious security reasons) but there are ways
1.Create an app for your website
If you create an app for your website then theres no need for facebook in the middle of things
2.Create an app displaying facebook page
As long as its your page and not something misleading then this is allowed and you can do some pretty neat stuff in android studio
for example if you post a like
mywebsite.com/forum/
theres this cool function you can use .endsWith("/forum/") from there you can make your application do ANYTHING when a link is clicked that ends with "/forum/"
A few things ive done
Redirect to that link
open browser to display link
Move to portion of app
Display dialog boxs
and theres much more your able to do
If you are having issues with your PWA not running correctly in Facebooks (insert expletive) Mobile Browser. Using dynamic links will force it out to the regular browser. Don't use your custom domain though. Use https://YOURDOMAIN.page.link instead
https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/custom-domains
also DO NOT skip the preview page!
I am a complete Google Analytics beginner and would appreciate a help with a basic question.
I am developing HTML, CSS and JavaScript based applications which are further uploaded into an iOS application to present your applications in a fancy way. Therefore my application is a hybrid application (half JS web site, half mobile app).
I would love to see users' activity in my app when they are browsing through it and I thought GA might work well with it - but the problem is, that the outer app doesn't provide me with any URL of my inner JS app (the inner web site's URL is file:///).
At this page (link), I found that URL is not really important, that it is the tracking code which is important. So I used a dummy URL, added the GA snippet into my application and uploaded it in iPresent. I can't see no live activity though... :/ It also says the measuring is not installed (not used at a home page).
So I am wondering - is the URL really important?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
URL (or page path) is only important if you want to report on data based on which URLs your visitors went to.
If you app doesn't use URLs at all, perhaps it fits better with the "app" model where you are sending screen name data instead of page data. You can read more about the differences between web and app views here:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2649553
I found out that URL is not needed. This type of problem can be solved by using GA Measurement Tool

Has anyone successfully integrated Peoplesoft screens or navigation via an iFrame in a third party app like Liferay or uPortal?
We are trying to integrate Liferay Portal as a web front end and consume some of the PeopleSoft screens in an iFrame portlet. Both the Liferay Portal and Peoplsoft systems are on different top level domains. We are using Oracle Single Sign On on bot the applications. We have a couple of issues with this.
The screens display in the iFrame - however, the JavaScript on the PeopleSoft does not execute and keeps spinning. In Chrome devtools console, there is the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getStoredData' of undefinedPT_PAGESCRIPT_win0_MIN_1.jsp
If not already signed in to the PeopleSoft system via SSO - the Login page pops out of the iFrame on IE browsers. To clarify based on comments below, the SSO happens for the first app like Liferay, however the user didnot try to go the second app PeopleSoft yet. So the SSO cookies for the second app (PeopleSoft) are not yet in the session. So when we access the page with the iFrame containing the Peoplesoft page, it pops out of the frame in IE trying to establish SSO session and cookies with PeopleSoft.
Has anyone been able to solve any of these issues?
Any insight would be much appreciated. I can provide more details if needed.
Thanks!
Edited for clarification based on comments below.
We have been able to resolve the above 2 issues.
First, we created a new instance of the portal in the same parent domain as the PeopleSoft domain and ensured both were using SSL so the protocol matched. This resolved the cross domain JS errors
Second, we changed our Oracle IdM SSO login flow to always redirect to a new PeopleSoft PIA which redirects back to Liferay's original URL. This ensures there is a valid PeopleSoft session and prevents iFrame popouts along with other integration issues. There is a lot of changes and work done by our team on this around related use cases(deep links, session timeouts) and flows. I'd be happy to post more details if anyone is proceeding down the same path.
Thanks for all the comments which helped us dig in the right direction. We also got feedback from other Liferay and PeoplesSoft customers who followed similar approaches.
I have the following requirement for my application (Android, iOS):
When the application launches it displays a login.html page (which is part of the application). After logging in, the application's webview should be occupied with home.jsp from an external domain. When user clicks on logout button in home.jsp it has to navigate back to login page . On click of logout when we usewindow.location.href="login.html" then it tries to find the page on xxx domain.
Is there a way to detect this navigation URL and override the URL from javascript or phonegap properties in the application?
When I inspect window.location.href in an android emulator I get file:///android_asset/www/index.html
But I think Nathans idea of moving it to the server is a good one. You could also have one on the device if you really need to. (PErhaps you should ask the person specifiying the app achitecture how they would do it :) )
The answer is going to vary depending on how you've implemented the mentioned WebView where home.jsp is being displayed in. You did not provide any code or any specific information so the answer is going to be the same - somewhat vague...
If you've opened a new WebView, then you can't control it from JavaScript. You'll need to control it via Java or Objective-C code (you did not mention which environment you're developing for...).
For example, if you'll look in the your-app\android\native\src\com\your-app\your-app.java file, you'll see how the native layer loads the application's index.html file after the Worklight JavaScript framework has been loaded.
Similarly, you could re-use this approach in your own application to close and re-load login.html.
If you're in fact doing the mentioned re-direct from the comments, meaning you're re-using the current webview but replacing its content with external content, then I think it is expected that you've lost the context of the application, and when looking for login.html - it doesn't find it... because you've moved from app-context to web-context. They do not know each other.
I think you should not do this re-direct. Instead, you need to open a new WebView using a Cordova plug-in, and in this new WebView to display your external content.
In this Overlayed WebView, you can detect any urls that are clicked on and if the sign-out URL was detected, then close the WebView.
You can see parts of this in action in the Integrating server-generated pages in hybrid applications tutorial and accompanying sample project.
In the sample project, you can see the functions provided (where you can add yours) in android\nativeResources\src\com\IncludeExternalPages\IncludeExternalPages.java.
I'm getting a blank permissions page on facebook login using the Javascript SDK. It was working for the last few days and I'm not sure what I changed. I don't seem to be using my app secret anywhere (I do define the API key). Are there any suggestions for troubleshooting? The Facebook debug page unfortunately just had me add some meta tags related to open graph which didn't change anything. I've tried looking at the 100s of other questions like this but can't figure it out. I tried reverting to an older version of my code so I'm pretty sure it's something with the Facebook, but it was working.
The blank page is in the popup window and has something about permissions in the URL. My site doesn't require any permissions though.
This is the URL in the login window after signing in:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/permissions.request?_path=permissions.request&app_id=number_I_removed&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D11%23cb%3Df8917d1784b726%26origin%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fpostacle.com%252Ffd565a0d8d775e%26domain%3Dpostacle.com%26relation%3Dopener%26frame%3Df12565ffe5570f2&sdk=joey&display=popup&response_type=token%2Csigned_request&domain=postacle.com&fbconnect=1&from_login=1&client_id=number_I_removed
If I reload my page I'm signed in correctly. The app ID and Client ID are the same in the URL. Not sure if they should be but wasn't specified a client ID or means of generating one.
OK, so of course I left out a critical detail: I'm using Django. Further, I'm so reliant on Django I was serving my Facebook channelUrl in a view. Facebook's API didn't like that. After reading the story of a similarly cursed fellow, I changed my ways: URL links directly to channel.html file. No more sorrows.
