Launch installed Android app from link in Android/Cordova web app

I would like to open a native Android app from a link in the Android/Cordova web app I am trying to build.( Tabview template, converted to HTML5+Cordova, building only for Android)

The app is in the Google Play store (com.app.gateaccess).  I have a separate mobile web app that opens the native iOS app using the specified scheme ( href="abdigateaccess://WI").

Before you build your application, under the build settings, provide your URL scheme (the external application) in the Intent (External whitelist) field.

@Swati S. - would that be the package name (com.app.gateaccess)?

It should be the package identifier, however, when I tried it didn't work for me. I'm trying to investigate, meanwhile use this plugin https://github.com/lampaa/com.lampa.startapp, it works.
