Challenge Overview

Competition Task Overview

We have an server web application that can generate a short link and send to user's phone via SMS, and when user taps the link on their phone it's supposed to automatically launch the client app so the user can start uploading photo/video/url to the server.

However the solution we built only seems to work on Firefox on Android, but doesn't work on other Android browsers like Chrome. The purpose of this challenge is to find a solution to make this work on all mainstream Android browsers.

NOTE: the current code works on Safari/Chrome on iOS, so this should NOT be broken.
