iOS Universal Links

Minimal web-server to support iOS universal links. Seamlessly redirect the user to the app when a link to your website is tapped.

1. Create a static file called apple-app-site-association in the root of your HTTPS web server. No extension!

2. The content of the file describes the apps that can be opened via universal links and the paths that are supported.

{
  "applinks": {
    "apps": [],
    "details": [
      {
        "appID": "{team_id}.{bundle_identifier}",
        "paths": [ "*" ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

The team_id can be found here https://developer.apple.com/account/#/membership. A minimal description is above. More info here.

3. The file needs to be accessible via HTTPS —without any redirects— at https://<domain>/apple-app-site-association. The Content-Type response header has to be application/json.

4. Apple App Site Association validation can be done here.
