Abstract
A system provides a software object to a developer for incorporation into an application. The software object includes processor-executable instructions that, upon installation of the software object in a mobile device, register a first domain with an operating system of the mobile device. In response to receiving a first deep link from the operating system, the software object determines whether the corresponding app is installed and, if so, selects a first format and transmits the first deep link using the first format. A web redirection server listens for HTTP requests at the first domain and, in response to receiving an HTTP request, prepares and transmits a redirection message to a source of the HTTP request. The redirection message includes a plurality of access mechanisms associated with the designated state of the designated application. The redirection message includes software instructions configured to select and actuate one of the access mechanisms.
