how to check if app is installed in user device when redirecting from deeplink

I have deep links in my app and I wonder if there is anyway to attach some function to it to check if my app is installed on the user device , and if it does proceed the operation but if it doesnt , then redirect to the app store to download. I couldnt really find any information about it on the web. I saw this library but If I understand it right, its for in-app redirection to another app, my will is to use my link that the user user in his browser to redirect to my app.

example:

appId://somePath // if app exist its redirect to the screen in the app

appId://somePath // if app doest exist redirect to app store to the app page

the first part is done but the second part is one big question mark for me.

Yes there is no way to find if application is installed or not(from outside like browser).

You can integrate branch.io - https://docs.branch.io/pages/apps/react-native/

You just have to configure the dashboard for both conditions(installed/not installed) and generate a link which you can share the same link on the browser.
