How to Verify User is using TWA as opposed to PWA

I'm looking to launch a single web app that works as a PWA for web users and a TWA for users wanting to download it from the Google Play Store. The app includes a yearly subscription so I'll need to implement separate payments methods for the PWA and TWA in order to comply with Google Play policies.
With this being said, is there a way to identify with JS if the user is viewing the PWA vs the TWA app from the play store? Perhaps something unique to check in the global window object?
Or, is it recommended to publish a whole new version of the app used for the TWA to a different URL that only supports the Google Play payment option.
Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

How to track facebook installs on a Hybrid App

I need to add the tracking of installs for my Hybrid Mobile app but the code provided to me is only native for iOS and Android thus I cannot apply this to my project..
Is there a method I need to invoke from the Facebook SDK? I have integrated it already with my application as I utilize the Facebook Login. According to the guide: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/app-ads/sdk because it is a hybrid app it should automatically be tracked but this is not the case.
Any suggestions?

Will mobile web apps ever gain bookmark distribution inside of the Facebook native iOS app?

I think bookmark distribution inside the Facebook native iOS app is a great opportunity. However, based on the table at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/support/, it appears that option is only available to native iOS apps. Does anyone know if there are future plans to make web app bookmarks available inside the native app?
It's possible that the bookmark feature within the native iOS Facebook app violates Apple's policies regarding content on their platform, i.e. a web app bookmarked within the Facebook native app would represent a different user experience from the one that was cleared by Apple when they let the Facebook app onto the App Store.
If this is the case, there will be no bookmarks available in the native app unless Apple changes their policy, or grants Facebook a waiver.

How do you get your app to appear on the Facebook Mobile Application? (specifically iPhone)

We have a popular Facebook Application and a version of our App for the iPhone. I was wondering how we can make our Application appear in the "Apps" Section on the new Facebook iPhone app. On my iPhone I currently see links to the App store for Pixable, Badoo, Airbnb, Foursquare and WhoisNear iPhone Application.
I have filled out the Native iOS App settings in the Developer section on Facebook (including adding the Bundle ID and the iPhone app store ID) several weeks ago thinking it took a while to update, but still nothing shows up on my iPhone app.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best,
M
Screenshot of where we want our app to show up:
Edit your Application Settings and on the Basic Settings specify a Mobile Web URL for your Mobile Web integration. You should be able to set the URL to your app's iTunes URL.
Fill out the iOS information within the admin settings of your application, which also means they are using the same application id. You also have to have granted at least the basic permissions via connect on the app, and have the app installed on the phone.

How to launch Native App from Web app in iPhone?

I want to access TTS (Text-To-Speech) and STT (Speech-To-Text) functionality of iOS from web app. Since web app dont access ios device functions, is it possible to launch Native app from Web app?
e.g. When user wants to access TTS (e.g. Dragon Dictation), web page will launch Native app, take recording and send the recorded text to web app again.
Or we can access TTS/STT functionality right from web app?
The only native apps you can access from web apps are those with custom URL schemes set up, and the built-in ones e.g. SMS (sms://), phone (tel://), iTunes (itms://) and YouTube (http://youtube.com/watch?...).
If the apps you mention don't have their own custom URL schemes which you can use to get to them, there's no other way you can do this.
I can answer one part of your question - using the functionality of an IOS native app from a web-app;
Apps can be developed such that they respond to custom URL schemes - like, for example, the mail app responds to mailto:// and youtube responds to youtube://. Calling a URL with one of these schemes will start the IOS app - but it's entirely on the developer to code this into their application.
You could therefore in theory develop an app to get triggered from a web-app, perform an action then return to a web app after! Probably not something I would try and do though.
