Assuming you have a server backending the app, send an invitation email
which includes a link such as:
https://yourserver.com/invite/8765ahgkjhg765
Your server would show download instructions for your app in response to
the above url.
Then setup your app with a universal link, so that when the app is
installed, clicking on the link in the email will launch your app with the
specified invitation code.
This will behave as follows:
- if the app is not installed, the link goes to your server
- if the app is installed, the link goes to your app
Hope that's clear ...
Thanks,
