Thanks for being a part of WWDC25!

How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here

App Clip not launching from QR code

I really need help guys:/ All works when testing, but not on production:/

Main app and its app clip is released.

Here is the app: https://apps.apple.com/pl/app/ar-city-your-ar-experience/id6745802339

Here is the associated apple-app-site-association: https://arcity.ai/.well-known/apple-app-site-association and its content:

Here are metadata:

Domain status:

I added (obviously) default app clip experience, but also advanced app clip (which should be not needed as on iOS >16.4 default one should supports QR code scanning):

When I check on my device under Settings -> Developer -> APP CLIPS TESTING -> check for "https://arcity.ai" I can see (that worries me:/):

Launching app clip from smart banners works (you can check that by opening arcity.ai on your device), but scanning QR codes (with system camera) don't:/ It just opens Safari.

Any thought appreciated.

Were you able to solve this? I’m having the same issue where my Advanced app clip experience has been in status Received for many days. I’ve been in touch with developer support but doesn’t seem like anyone who answers my emails knows much about app clips.

Anyone? I can't make advanced experience to work:/

For apple engineer:

Here is sample QR code that once scanned from system camera should open Advanced App Clip experience, but it just opens Safari instead:/

I’ve encountered the same issue. I’ve already checked the Advanced App Clip Experience and the AASA file, but I currently lack the means to further troubleshoot where the problem lies.

Yeah, it is very annoying:/ I hope that after WWDC someone from Apple look at that post:(
