Answer 1

Here is the correct way to link to the App Store in PhoneGap:

<a href="itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id<app apple id>">To App Store</a>

And for Android:

<a href="market://details?id=<bundle id>">To Google Play Store</a>

Answer 2

Change the URL that you are opening so that it is in this format

itms-apps://itunes.com/apps/<yourappdevelopername>

Replace <yourappdevelopername> with the developer name that you have registered with Apple.

Answer 3

Even tho this is an old thread... Mike has been asking if there's a way to detect whether we're on iOS or Android platform.

In Phonegap/Cordova you can call

device.platform

which will, for example, return the value

iOS
