Platform	Best Practice	URL Format
iOS (App Store)	Always include country code (us/jp/uk)	apps.apple.com/[country]/app/[name]/[id]
Android (Google Play)	Use package name for accuracy	play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=[package]
Both (Universal)	Use smart detection for dual links	Redirect service detects OS automatically

Troubleshooting

Q: Links to wrong app

A: Verify your app IDs are correct. Check Play Store link shows your app, not competitor.

Q: Works on iPhone but not Android

A: Use dual-OS detection. Some links only work for one platform.

Q: What if my app isn't published yet?

A: Create QR code before launch. Update the link once app is live (use dynamic QR codes).

Q: Can I use shortlinks instead?

A: Yes! Use bit.ly, short.link services. But direct app store links work better and don't expire.
