Device-based QR code redirects: iOS, Android and desktop
If you have an iOS app and an Android app, a single QR code on a poster should not send everyone to the same store. With device rules, one code can send iPhone users to the App Store, Android users to Google Play and desktop users to your website.

Device and OS detection
The scanning device identifies itself on every request. We read the operating system and device class from that signal, so a rule can match iOS, Android, Windows, macOS or a general mobile/tablet/desktop classification.
Common device rules
Device rules are most useful when the right destination genuinely differs by platform.
- iOS → App Store, Android → Google Play
- Mobile → mobile web, Desktop → full site
- Tablet → a larger-screen layout
- Everyone else → a default page
Combining device and country rules
Rules can stack. A high-priority rule can send German iOS users to a specific localized app listing, while a broader mobile rule catches everyone else. Because the first matching rule wins, order and priority are what keep the behavior predictable.
