redirect to ios application using php

Question

i have read a lot of stack-over-flow Q&A and blogs about deep linking, the way i found convenient was to use header() function in my php code and use url within it to redirect. But when i put myApp:// in header function like this

header('Location: myApp://');

as redirect link it says

cannot open the page because too many redirects occur

then did some research and found this link

then according to the link, i used javascript method as

echo '<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">window.location="360VUZ://";</script>';

to achieve the same still this doesn't work as it changed the whole url i needed to open the app it says

The requested URL /subFolder/myApp:// was not found

now i am not getting how the path is appending itself, all i need is to hit this

myApp://

url to open my application

any type of help or suggestion is appreciated ! thanks in advance!!

EDIT:

specifically when i am using JS to open app, it says

The requested URL /subFolder/myApp:// was not found on this server.

so all i need to do is somehow delete/remove the prefix path as it is finding the app on the server not on device and hit only 'myApp://', but still dont know how!? please help me!

With iOS 9.2, Apple deprecated the ability to launch apps via URI schemes in favor of Universal Linking. Consequently, this approach that you are exploring no longer works.

Your options are to set up Universal Linking on your own or to leverage a third party service like branch.io.
