I have setup Universal Links in my iOS app exactly to details following the steps outlined here:
How to Set Up Universal Links
It validates 100% successfully using both Branch and Apple validators. But now that I'm trying to test out the finished product, I'm having trouble.
If I type in or tap a link to my site (ex, www.mydomain.com), Safari/Chrome/Facebook goes right to my website.
However, if I go to Google, type www.mydomain.com in as the search, locate the link to my site and long press on the link, 'Open in MyApp' is one of the options and works perfectly.
Why is this? I'm pulling out my hair!
We are also facing same issue for one of my new APP, Universal links worked fine in iOS 12 after upding to iOS 13 it stopped working. Currentky running with iOS 13.1.2. Tried above solutions mentioned by other users but it didn't worked out.
Improve your user experience implemented these useful shortcuts. There are 2 ways of implementing deep linking in IOS: URL scheme and Universal Links. While URL schemes are a well-known way of having deep linking, Universal links are the new way Apple has implemented to easily connect your webpage and your app under the same link.
But more than that, Universal links allow us to have a fallback webpage if a user does not have the app installed.
Universal Links unfortunately don't work everywhere. From this page:
Note: Conditionally working means that it works (i.e., opens the app) some of the time:
<a href="...">
element click across domains. Example: if there is a Universal Link on google.com pointing to bnc.lt, it will open the app.<a href="...">
element click on the same domain. Example: if there is a Universal Link on google.com pointing to a different Universal Link on google.com, it will not open the app.window.onload
or via a .click()
call on an <a>
element), unless it is part of a user action.If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
