Can I open a Google link in the app?
I am integrating google tracking tracking in iOS app. I have a sample link that, when clicked on an email or webpage, will direct me to the iOS App Store to install or open an app.
But if I already have the app installed, should these links actually open the app? I don't see this happening, I keep going to the App Store using the open button. Is this the correct action? I was under the impression that a link would be sent to the app to open / run right away.

From what I know and what I did for my Android APP (I think the functionality is similar to iOS), you need to pass the INSTALL_REFERRER intent to your app, which contains some Google Analytics campaign data. This is the same intent that the Google Play Store app is broadcast to your app after the user installs it.
You should check if the App Store does the same broadcast.
So, if it's the same procedure, it won't send anything if the app is already installed :)
