If the code shows up in the head I’m pretty sure that the plugin (and WordPress) are doing the right thing.

Are you sure you have the right app id? Possibly try using the app id 796510058 (one of mine, available in every App Store country) temporarily, leave the other fields blank and see what happens. If that works, add back your app id and finally the other fields. Possibly they’re malformed in some way? Also worth checking on another iPad/iPhone to see if it’s (for some reason) only a problem on yours.

There is no cookie, at least not that’s easily available. This isn’t a setting in the plugin, this is something that Safari on your device manages.

Of course, 8.2 is still in beta. It could be a bug.

Sorry, I only just noticed this thread. Were you able to resolve?

I’ve not tried. It looks as though TapStream expects the standard meta tag, so I would imagine that it would work.

Please let me know how you get on.

No problem. Glad you got it working.

I don’t define the format for either the affiliate data or the app argument. The former is defined by Apple. The latter is defined by your app, so clearly there’s no way that I can document that.

It’s “at=AFFILIATECODE” (without the quotes).

So, Link Maker gives me the following link:

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/cameragps-easy-gps-logging/id796510058?mt=8&uo=4&at=11lmMT

That makes the affiliate data “at=11lmMT”.

Apple provide lots of documentation on this here. The plugin doesn’t do anything special with the information; it just gets passed through to be interpreted by Safari.

I believe this is what the plugin is generating:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i) != null) {
document.write("<meta name=\"apple-itunes-app\" content=\"app-id=836522588\">\n");
}
else {
document.write("<meta name=\"apple-itunes-app\" content=\"app-id=836522588\">");
}
// -->
</script>

This looks correct to me.

However, immediately above that I see:

<meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=, affiliate-data=, app-argument=">
<meta name="google-play-app" content="app-id=sphinx.afl">

I don’t know if you added this manually or have another plugin installed? But either way, Safari will probably look at this first and ignore anything after that. In fact, when I open the site on an iPad I see the app banner appear and then immediately disappear.

Safari will only display a single App Banner for an app.

I suggest you either manually remove the lines in your template or disable the other plugin.

Thanks for the quick fix.

For the people that are still having problems, there’s another line you need to change (it’s another instance of the same problem).

From:

add_filter( 'post_link', array( $this, 'ppr_filter_page_links '), 20, 2 );

To:

add_filter( 'post_link', array( $this, 'ppr_filter_page_links'), 20, 2 );
