Facebook App Invites iOS v4 SDK error

I've double checked everything, from my understanding this is all I need to do:

self.inviteContent = [[FBSDKAppInviteContent alloc] initWithAppLinkURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://mywebsite.com"]];
[FBSDKAppInviteDialog showWithContent:self.inviteContent delegate:self];

On mywebsite.com I have this in the heading (example values shown here):

<html>
<head>
    <title>My Website</title>
    <meta property="al:ios:url" content="appurl://action">
    <meta property="al:ios:app_store_id" content="1234567">
    <meta property="al:ios:app_name" content="My App">
</head>
<body>
    ...
</body>
</html>

So the dialog switches over the to the latest Facebook iOS app. I write a message and pick the person I want to send the invite to, hit send and I get this error:

Missing App Link URL
The app link used with this invite does not contain an Android or iOS URL. Developers are required to enter a URL for at least one platform.

What am I doing wrong?

My app handles the custom URL fine because if I enter appurl://action in Mobile Safari it opens my app up.

You need to create an AppLink URL from here/

  1. Choose your application from the list

  2. Fill up the form with equivalent information

  3. Click on Next !

  4. You're done.

Now, you can use that link with your code for invite.

self.inviteContent = [[FBSDKAppInviteContent alloc] initWithAppLinkURL:[NSURL URLWithString:APP_LINK_HERE]];
[FBSDKAppInviteDialog showWithContent:self.inviteContent delegate:self];

The format of that link will be something like https://fb.me/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

All xs will be replace by a digit.
