Open Vuforia Instruct Experience

[JTFrandsen]

It it possible to open Vuforia Vantage from Vuforia Studio? I have created a button to run a function containing:

window.location = "URL obtained from Vuforia Editor"; 

This URL works when scanned as a QR code or entered into a web browser, but for some reason it will not work from the Vuforia View mobile application.

Hi @JTFrandsen,

Its not clear to me the functionality you are looking for. Do you want actually to have a deep link functionality between Vuforia View and Vantage? or is the link that you entered in Vuforia View not redirecting you, at all,to Vantage?

Thank you.

Hi Marius, 

I'm too worried if I use a deep link or not, as long as the functionality of opening a specific procedure in the Vantage app is acheived. Yes, right now the link I'm using doesn't redirect me like I thought it would. On Android, I am redirected to a web version of the Google Play store so I can install the application (even though it's already installed on my device). On iOS, nothing happens at all.

I have also tried using window.location = "vuforiavantage://"; as suggested in these other posts:

but still, no luck. I have also looked at this post for a solution:

I really appreciate your help with this!

Hi @JTFrandsen ,

I have some good news!

The issue of not being able to start an experience in Instruct from View/Studio is known to R&D and was solved. 

The fix will come with the next Studio release, which should come end of this month. 

Thank you.

Is anything the Vuforia studio update yet?

I'd like to use a deep link in Vuforia studio.

Thanks for your help!

Hi @ShawnYang @JTFrandsen,

The studio release was delayed from mid-end Nov to the 7th of Dec. 

Thank you for your understanding.
