Tap a church link anywhere.
Email, text, QR, and public website links should get members to the right church work without a store-install detour.
Android access
Use the web portal now. Add the Android app when it helps.
Members should be able to open a church link from an Android phone without guessing which app, browser, or account to use. The browser is the dependable path now, with app handoff ready for the installed app later.

Let Android App Links take over.
When the Play build and signing values are final, the same links can move installed-app users into the Android app.
The browser keeps Android users moving.
Chrome gives members an immediate path into the church portal. Android App Links can take over for installed-app users without changing the links staff already send.
What staff should do now
Use one link path for browser access and Android app handoff.
Start with the web portal and public site. The same church links can serve Android browser users now and installed-app users later.
- Use browser-safe links in email, texts, QR codes, and public pages.
- Let members sign in from Android, desktop, or tablet.
- Keep group, signup, and file links under one church account.
- Move installed-app users into the app when Android handoff is ready.
Good Android access means no dead link.
If a member taps a church link from an email or QR code, they should land somewhere useful: Chrome first, then the app when it is installed and ready.
