Can a Smart App banner launch an app installed from Xcode?

I'm trying to prototype the integration between a Smart App Banner and an iOS app. Is it possible for a Smart App Banner to launch an iOS app that was installed from Xcode instead of the App Store (on either a device or in the simulator)?

Thank you.

The following worked for me:

  1. I installed the app from the AppStore using a device running iOS 6.
  2. then I overwrote it with a dev build using Xcode 6.

The only hard part is to get an iOS 6 device.

This isn't possible. Only App Store apps can be launched by a Smart App Banner.

To the best of my knowledge, not for an app that has no listing on the App Store.

The smart app banner 'code' requires the app id from the App Store, which is not available from an app just installed from Xcode.

If the app is an update to an existing app that you've installed via Xcode, then as long as it's available on the iTunes store it will launch the app as far as I am aware.
