Subject: Need Assistance with App Clip Invocation via URL

Hello Developers,

I’m currently facing an issue with invoking my App Clip through a URL, specifically when the link is shared via iMessage or Email. Instead of launching the App Clip, the URL redirects to the website.

Here’s my current configuration:

Approved App with an App Clip Universal Links functioning correctly within the App (verified through AASA file hosted on the website) Associated Domain Entitlements included for both the App and the App Clip Universal Link is expected to invoke the App Clip if the App isn’t installed Advanced Experience configured in App Store Connect

The default experience URL from App Store Connect successfully triggers the App Clip, but my custom URL does not.

I suspect I might be missing a crucial configuration step. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have suggestions on what else I should verify?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Thanks for the links! I have gone through them and still no dice. Maybe AppClips just simply don't work with custom URLs?

Is there something I can share from the AASA file or what that someone can help me with?

Here is my current AASA file:

{
    "appclips": {
        "apps": [ "9Y7YPPMKU2.com.lgs.order-tracker.Clip" ]
    },
    "applinks": {
        "details": [
            {
                "appID": "9Y7YPPMKU2.com.lgs.order-tracker",
                "components": [
                    {
                        "/": "/job-status/*",
                        "?": { "jobNumber": "?*" }
                    },
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

My goal is this following:

User receives a link via iMessage or SMS

The link is https://<host>.com/job-status/?jobNumber=<job number>

Expected Results:

If app is installed link into app (this is working)

If app not installed app clip is presented (this is not working)
