Suggest the native app from your web service

Question

I saw some time ago in an Apple Keynote that they will implemente (or already implemented) a feature that will allow you to promote your native app from inside your web service.

The example given, if I remember correctly, was with a restaurant table reservation system. When you entered the web service to reserve a table, the browser asked you if you don't want to make the reservation using the native app, from the same service provider, available in App Store. If you choose so, then the phone will download the native app and opened it for you.

Does this feature got implemented ? I don't manage to find it anywhere ?

Answer 1

Apple has added a special banner in iOS 6, which you can add to you mobile site. This banner wil be placed at top of your site. The banner will detect if the app is installed or not and allow the user to open the app or download it.
