Directly return back to app from Safari without prompting the user

Question

I have gone through similar questions and the answer to all of them is using custom URL, which I did implement. However in case of custom URL's, when the user is being redirected back to the app from Safari, there is a popup that says Do you want to open (app name). I don't want to show this popup to the user , instead I want to navigate them directly to the app. How can I achieve this ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

@MarkS. Thanks for your input Mark, however, these solutions show a pop-up, which is something I don't want. — Tejas K, Jun 16 '17 at 05:25

You cannot do this with URI schemes — they will always show this alert in Safari.

If you want to route into your app without showing an alert, you need to use Universal Links.
