I have separate user and PRO app. If a user downloads the PRO app I would like to give them the option to download the user version with a simple button to take them to download the user version from the relevant store. I'm looking for some guidance on the best way to achieve this.
You can use CN.execute("uri of my app"). You can check the CN.getProperty("Platform", "android").equals("ios") to check if this is iOS and use the itunes URL. Otherwise you can use the Android URL.
On the desktop this will open the browser but on the device it will launch the appstore.

I want to manually allow user to save the the data from app directly to google drive or iCloud. Suppose, I have an image and when user clicks save button he need to get option to save to icloud or google drive anyone of these in the iOS device. How can i achieve this in codenameone are there any plugin, api or library avaliable? As goggle provided google-api-services for android application. How I achieve this in iOS.
Thanks for your help.
Doing this with an image should be easy. Just use the share feature in Codename One:
// will return false on the simulator but work in iOS/Android
if(Display.getInstance().isNativeShareSupported()) {
Display.getInstance().share("", fileSystemPathToImage, imageMimeType);
}
Suggestions of where to save should be based on the things available in your device e.g. Facebook, iCloud, Drive, Dropbox etc.
I am working on a facebook sharing functionality for a site that is used on both mobile and desktop. We have a deep link we can use to link to the apps and will take the user to the app store if the app is not installed, when on mobile.
This is perfect but in the case that the share is opened on a desktop machine the experience is less than desirable.
Ideally, we would like to find a way for if they share is opened on desktop that the call to action / button goes to the website.
Worst case I would think that we put a redirect to the website when the App Deep Link is clicked on a desktop machine.
Thoughts?
Branch has a free solution for this. Their links are smart enough to direct desktop users to the website and mobile users to the store if that's what you want to do. They also have an SDK for routing and attribution.
I want that my online website link that is opened in my mobile browser checks whether my mobile app is installed or not and then opens it in my mobile app.
I want my functionality as I have shown in this

I am using AngularJS,Express,NodeJS in my application.I tried node deeplink
but it does not work for me.Please provide me with the appropriate solution.
This functionality is known as Mobile Deep Linking. The easiest way to get started is with a deep linking service like Branch.io (full disclosure: I'm on the Branch team), Yozio, or Firebase Dynamic Links. They all do exactly what you're describing.

Currently I am developing an app in corona sdk. It is still very early in the development stage so I can change the IDE or SDK if needed to achieve my goal.
I wish to create an app that can be played on multiple platforms(mainly ios and android) and I eventually want the users to be able to use the browser to continue playing at home with their progress saved. It is a simple app and could probably be recreated in html. They will have to login their accounts in order to play
How do i go about to achieve this? Should I complete my app in corona first, and then recreate the app in html and php and link the database to it separately or is there a specific development kit I could use that has this ability. Also, I am new to the development scene, how do I detect if the user is logged in a particular platform as I realize if they are logged in, in multiple places and give multiple entries it may cause problems.
If you are new to the development scene then you should continue developing with Corona.
Corona doesn't povide any web port but I know Unity does.
I think first you should complete your game for mobile platforms and if it will have success you can port it to web.

You might want to try phonegap (http://phonegap.com/). I have never used it, I just know that it exists, so do some research to see if it would be a good fit. This might allow you to create the app once for both browsers and mobile.
Does there exist some kind of plugin or lightweight method of determining whether
A. A user is using a mobile device
B. The user has a particular app
C. The user does not have a particular app.
And depending on what criteria the user satisfies, display a prompt (modal, overlay, pop-up) that allows the user to view the app (if installed) or to install it (if they do not have it installed).
I realize "A" can be achieved by using media queries but I am not sure how to configure the others.
I've seen this done on many many sites so I know that it is not uncommon (view screenshot). Ideally I just want to implement some quick solution. I'm looking for something similar to "Hello Bar" for mobile only, I suppose.
Any help will be appreciated.

I ended up finding this:

Which is exactly what I was looking for and will work in tandem with the other solutions.
I would try this approach if you really need to know if a user has your app installed.
When your app is installed and first run have it create a cookie. The only thing you have to remember to use is the CookieSyncManager because the set Cookies are stored in RAM and not storage, CookieSyncManager will sync these two.
CookieSyncManager.createInstance(context)
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().sync()
Once you've set the cookie you can then read the Cookie with the website, if its there show popup etc. Oh and only show this popup only if its a mobile device: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html

I know how to do this with android not iOS or Windows...
There's no standard way to do this.

IE10's Metro environment offers this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2011/10/20/connect-your-web-site-to-your-windows-8-app.aspx but I don't think that exists for the mobile browser.
