Can I create a link from a website which opens Wechat app on a mobile? - wechat

I know that I can post a QR code and if someone scans it on their phone, it will open Wechat app.
But what if they are already on their phone, browsing the site? They obviously cannot scan the QR code if they are on the mobile.
I read in another question that Wechat removed the use of URL protocols.
This leaves me with a problem.
If a user is on their mobile phone browsing a website, and the website wants to link to their Wechat profile so that the user can click or do something to open their Wechat app to the profile, how do I do it?
On the desktop version of my site, I show a QR code. On the mobile version of the site, showing the QR code doesn't mean much if they are already on their phone and can't scan the code! How do I link the Wechat profile so it opens the app and they can connect with me?
Do I simply have to show my username and they have to go open the app and look me up manually? Is that the only option?

You can use WeChat - that will open the WeChat app on the user's phone.
At the moment, there's no way to open the app to a specific user or profile.

Firebase - Force to open dynamic link with an app only

Flutter : Display app content from Dynamic/Deep Link even if app not installed

I am working on a new events app and I would like users to be able to share events they have created with friends who many not have the app installed on their device yet. I am using the flutterdev share plugin to allow users to share event links through their social media channels, and I would like the invited users to navigate to the event directly when the link is clicked. So they can see the event details and then have the option to install the app if they so choose.
My question is : how to handle this for users who do not have the app installed on their phone?
My idea so far has been to develop a flutter web version of my mobile app and send the link as a web url, so the user will be sent to the flutter web version rather than the mobile app.
Is there an easier/smarter way to do this?

Chromebook does not show app page

A friend has two google accounts and one chromebook. Neither google account will display the app page on the chromebook. Prolly not helpful, but included is a screen capture of the message.
screen capture showing the app page error message
Logging into any other computer properly displays the app page. Logging out and in on the chromebook doesn't change things. Clearing cache on the chromebook doesn't help. No joy.
I've asked him to check his proxy settings, and to have a friend try yet a different google account.

how to link to an official account from the built-in browser

From an official account main menu view I can provide a URL and it will open in the built in WeChat browser.
Is there a way to close the browser and come back to the main account menu?
I don't want to have the user hit the [X] button each time.
Is there a standard URL format for an official account that can be used as a link to open the account from a browser?
In short, there's no way to do that.
In early days, there are some hacking ways to do this, but now they are all not working any more.
You can put a qrcode image of your account on your site for users to scan and follow you.

Map AuthenticationToken for WIndows Phone 8.1

I found many similar questions here but I still don't understand how to get an AuthenticationToken for my MapControl in windows phone 8.1 application.
Okay, maybe I'm really stupid but in Official MSDN guide they said:
In your browser, navigate to your developer dashboard in the Windows
Phone Dev Center.
On the Dashboard page, click Submit App.
On the Submit app page, click App info.
On the App info page, reserve an app name and provide the other info
requested on the page. Then click Save.
On the Submit app page, click Map services.
And I don't see any Submit App menu item in my dashboard.
I suggest that Submit an app and Submit App mune items is similar so I click it. According to the MSDN guide I should see Map Services link , but I don't.
Can anyone tell me is the guide is up to date? How can I get what I want? I know that this is a really simple thing. Thank you!
P.S. Sorry for my English;)
The problem is that you went to Windows 8 dashboard, not Windows Phone dashboard.
