IRule to display users "the mobile app is outdated. Please update using the links below: Android: Click here, IOS: Click Here"

Dear Community,

Looking for some help.

We have a mobile app whose URL is hosted on F5. I want to write an irule that displays the following message to the users.

"The mobile app is outdated. Please update using the links below:

Android Users: Click here,

IOS Users: Click Here"

 

Ofcouse, the links should take them to the app store's app.

EDIT: I am able to display the JSON message but only needs to know how to display the links to the app stores. 

 

Thank you.

    Hi,

     

    Not 100% sure, but I think pointing to the application ID in the relevant store should be fine. (e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.admin.meteoswiss&hl=en) ?

    Hi  

    You should have to escape the " characters for that, else you'll see the message content alone.

    The below should help.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
        if { SOMECONDITION } {
                  HTTP::respond 200 content "<html><head><title>Maintenance Page</title></head><body>The mobile app is outdated. Please update using the links below: Android: Click <a href=\"https://play.google.com/store/\">here</a>, IOS: Click <a href=\"https://play.google.com/store/\">here</a></body></html>"
           }
}

    Notice - href=\" & \">here, hope this helps. I have tested too.

    Please mark the thread as solved it this solves your requirement.

    Edit: Forgot to tell, there is Ifile method as well. In case you want to explore that.
