Description

Some links direct to the Google Play Store and check if the application is installed. If the application is installed, it launches the application directly.

Aurora store or fdroid opens on devices that do not have Google Play infrastructure installed. But even if the app is installed, it cannot call the app. Unfortunately, the situation is the same when MicroG and 2 other components are installed.

For example, when you download the Trello application on the Aurora Store and try to log in, the internet browser opens even though Trello is installed and an error message appears stating that the page could not be loaded.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Trello login flow on a device using Aurora Store or F-Droid, with and without Google Play infrastructure, and observe how the Play Store URL is handled. Done means an installed application can be opened directly instead of falling back to the browser in the described environments.
