In Iphone , the web icon function is something like when browsing the website, if I click on add to homescreen, then there will be a shortcut for the website on the homescreen, so the user later click on that icon will open the browser and go to the bookmarked website.

I have a question about how to make a website that supports Add to Homescreen in Google chrome.
That's mean some websites like web.whatsapp.com when clicking on the Add to home screen, Website shortcut add to my home screen but when I open it, it has different, It opens in fullscreen mode and hide Google chrome options.
please say how to create a website like that.
I think they are called PWA (Progressive Web App) you can find information online on how to create those apps from scratch.
I'm trying to open the app from an HTML page. It's working well, but I need the app to open without asking the permission from the user.
Currently, Safari will ask the user that "Open this page in myapp". I don't want this message box.
How I can remove this message from Safari? I'm using an URI scheme to open the app. It looks something like myApp://domain.
You can't avoid the dialog you mentioned while using Custom URL schemes. This is iOS feature.
Instead you can use Universal Links to open your iOS App without additional dialog. You need to have control over iOS App to make this happens.
To simplify Universal Links setup, you can use one of the companies that can setup most of it for you. I am working in Firebase/Google https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/ . Other answer mentioned company that will do this for you as well.
Try branch.io? It works with Android and iOS.
As the title says, I would like to show a small popup containing a button at the end of my web site to hint users to add my website to their phone's home screen. I found a tutorial here: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/add-to-home-screen/#0, which solved my issue on Android but this way just works just only on Android and https method. I would prefer that this popup must work on Android, iOS, http and https. Would anyone here know how to solve this? Thank you very much for your help.
For Android, the Add To Home Screen prompt requires HTTPS (or localhost), so it's not possible to do it on HTTP.
For Safari on iOS, you can configure the home screen icon & launch appearance with meta tags, but a prompt system is not currently available, so users will need to add the app manually.
How can I make all the weblinks in my Sencha touch project open in a new browser window? The problem is that each time someone taps on a link, they are opened in the same embedded browser in which the app is running and there is no way to go back to the app.
For example, if I have a support page hyperlinked via tag in a label, let's say
<a href="support.com>Help me!</a>
When the user taps on Help me, the support page opens in the app itself and there is no way to go back to the app!
EDIT:- I am testing with android device
Try something like
support.com
I think you should have the InAppbrowser cordova/phonegap plugin installed to get it working on this way.
I am developing a web cross-browser app.
I want that, clicking on "ADD HOME" icon, by Javascript detects the OS (Android, iOs, BB...) and creates a Shortcut (bookmark) on the HomeScreen.
Is it possible?
Thanks a lot.
At least on iOS(4.x) it isn't possible.
Read Javascript for "Add to Home Screen" on iPhone? for details. As it is suggested, you can add a bubble, dialog or some other information to guide the user for using iOS's own functionality.
