Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the invite-link flow from Mail on iOS 14.6 with the App Store app and Gil's build installed, then compare how the link is handled by Safari and Element. Done means the invite link opens Element or presents an appropriate installation prompt instead of showing the spare preview in Safari.
