A little while ago I found a way to reliably pass parameters to an Android app as it is opened for the first time after installation via the Google Play Store OPEN button.
Refer to this thread where Erel showed me how to do it:
I'm trying to pass a parameter to the iOS app as it opens for the first time in response to the user tapping OPEN after installing the app from the iTunes app store.
I may be missing something but I can't see how the link you suggest helps.

I have come to the same conclusion - I have developed a work around in which when the iOS app detects it does not have the parameters it tells the user to exit everything, go back to the SMS/email and tap the link again - DEFINITELY A CLUNKY USER EXPERIENCE - my dislike of Apple and all its products intensifies.
