How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here
My ASA file is located here https://staging.docyt.com/apple-appsite-association It downloads fine. It does not have .json extension and neither does it reside inside the ./well-known folder. Should it work? Because opening the link https://staging.docyt.com/reset-password is not opening the app installed via TestFlight . Installing via XCode however works fine. Please help
Thank you for your post. The link you provided does not generate the AASA file. However, the file’s location is incorrect. While a JSON extension is not necessary, the file must be placed in the correct location.
To test, a simple request such as: curl -v https://staging.docyt.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
Should return the AASA file without any HTML or redirects. I recommend reading the troubleshooting guide for Universal Links to ensure that all steps are functioning correctly.

@DTS Engineer How/why then does it work when the build is installed via XCode?
Thank you for sharing your post and comments. I understand that when installing using Xcode, universal links work, while installing using TestFlight do not. Could you please review the file swcutil_show.txt to identify the error? The file contains the registration of the bundle ID and the request to the AASA file after the installation. By examining these details, we can determine the error message and the reason for the unsuccessful registration of the AASA file.

@DTS Engineer I ran sysdiagnose and extracted the swcutil_show.txt file. This file contained no entry for my app. After that I installed the app via XCode and ran sysdiagnose again and this time the swcutil_show.txt does show the entry for the app. Here it is:
Service: applinks
App ID: 2HZE63473H.com.docyt.copilot.staging
App Version: 1.0

Now, the question is on installing the app from TestFlight why the app's entry is not in this file.
I believe there were some issues in TestFlight, can you please try again and let me know if now it works? If the app works and the registration works well installing from Xcode, should work in production. But it seems didn't work on TestFlight.
