App Store

Your application can be published to someone else's app store, or you can develop your own app store. Alternatively, you can simply place the deeplink link from the metadata.json on your app's official website, allowing users to download the app directly by visiting the website.

Here is an open-source app store provided, which you can fork and deploy your own app to your own store.

App Store Source Code

How to Create a Download Link

First, your application will package two files as follows:

  bundle
  ├── xxxxx.dweb.zip
  └── metadata.json

Next, you need to upload them to your app's official website (app store). Assuming I upload them to the root directory of my app's official website:

├── https://dweb.browser.org/xxxxx.dweb.zip
└── https://dweb.browser.org/metadata.json

Then, my app's official website only needs to redirect in the following way to trigger the app download.

open

window.open(`dweb://install?url=https://dweb.browser.org/metadata.json`);

a tag

<a href="dweb://install?url=https://dweb.browser.org/metadata.json">Click to Download</a>

href

location.href = "dweb://install?url=https://dweb.browser.org/metadata.json";

The principle for creating a download link is simple. Use the dweb:install?url= deep link format to construct the download link. This way, users only need to click this (link) button in the Dweb Browser app to jump to the download interface.

Using QR Codes

You can also simply place a QR code on your official website, making it convenient for users who have already installed the Dweb Browser app to use the deep_link scanning feature to jump and download.

You only need to generate a QR code for an address similar to the one below. After scanning, users will be redirected to the app download interface.

dweb://install?url=https://dweb.browser.org/metadata.json
