I'm wondering if it's possible to test iOS 6's smart app banners' app-argument URL parameter on dev builds of an iOS app. It appears the Open option in the banner only appears if the application is downloaded from the App Store.

回答1:
What worked for me was to download my application from the appstore, and then overwrite it using a build from XCode. This worked and allowed me to debug the smart banner feature using my current build. This won't work from the simulator, you need to use a device.
Just to be clear, you must overwrite it. You can't delete the appstore version, and then build from XCode.

The following worked for me using an iOS 6 device, because it didn't work with iOS 8.
I installed the app from the AppStore and then overwrite it with a dev build using Xcode 6.

As of now, Xcode 8 and iOS 10, I have tried all the methods but Cannot Debug the smart banners URL that is being opened, as it needs the store versions of the application.
I have found a workaround of this, and have tested my application using this.
Apart from the <meta ...>
tag I have also added a link button on the page that uses the scheme to open the app.
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=xxxx,pt=xxxxx,ct=xxxxx,app-argument=myappscheme://www.mymobilesite.com/link/detailpage?query=x"> <title>Banner Debug Sample</title> </head> <body> <p>Visit <a href="myappscheme://www.mymobilesite.com/link/detailpage?query=x">App Using Scheme</a>.</p> </body> </html>
With this link I can debug the Dev builds and works well.
Though this only works when the app has registered a scheme for itself, but just for testing we can register a dummy scheme say appscheme://
and replace http://
scheme with dummy scheme, test it, and then revert links from app scheme://
to http://
