For more information, see Installing your app from your website. Setting the alternative distribution package parameter The fully qualified domain in the alternateDistributionPackage value needs to match the fully qualified domain of the referrer, that is, the page that contains the marketplace-kit:// link. This domain also needs to match the domain you supply to App Store Connect. For more information, see Alternative Distribution Domains. For example: note: To allow installation, the web browser also needs to support the app installation URL scheme. If you develop a browser app, see Enabling alternative distribution app installation in a browser for more information.
