Why can’t I add a shortcut to my homescreen of my ipad? I personally do not like Apple bc of their limitations like not being able to set a default browser, and not being able to add a shortcut to the homescreen unless you’re using Safari, which is down right ridiculous.

I am in the testing stages of my App before I deploy it, and using my wife’s Ipad and having the problem with not being able to easily install the App.

(which has happened to several other testers from within my office as well) This of course will be a huge problem for my users who are Apple owners, so I’m hoping to find a solution.

From within the app, I send example1@gmail.com an invitation. I then go on example1@gmail.com’s Ipad and launch the Gmail app. I open the invitation email and click the link to “Install the app” which bring me to a new screen where there are two options “Install from App Store” and “Install Ex App”. I click on install from app store and it brings up Safari with a display box where the option to add to homescreen is usually at. It’s not there. I’ve had this problem with 10 out of 10 iOS users. Anyone else experience this, or can tell me what to do to fix it, or how to instruct my users how to avoid this issue? My solution would be to throw all Apple products in the trash.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
