unilinks://url is working, but https://url is not working

[kmvignesh]

Describe the bug When I tried to use "https" for deep link working on android and iOS not working. Then I tried "unilinks" its working both. But sharing unilinks via sms not clickable. So I want to use "https" for deep linking

To Reproduce I tried the scheme as "https" like below, its working on ANDROID and not working iOS. For iOS I already added "https://skillsdoctor.net/apple-app-site-association". still "https" not working. IOS :

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
            <string>Editor</string>
            <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
            <string>skillsdoctor.net</string>
            <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
            <array>
                <string>https</string>
            </array>
        </dict>
    </array>

ANDROID

            <!-- Deep Links -->
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                <data
                    android:scheme="https"
                    android:host="skillsdoctor.net" />
            </intent-filter>

            <!-- App Links -->
            <intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                <data
                    android:scheme="https"
                    android:host="skillsdoctor.net" />
            </intent-filter>

Expected behavior Either https/unilinks deep link should work on both platform.

As far as I can see your https://skillsdoctor.net/apple-app-site-association isn't correctly formatted. You are missing an appID key. See Apple's guide about Universal lilnks: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppSearch/UniversalLinks.html

If you can - ensure it is requested by the OS upon app install (or app's first launch). Best suggestion - look at your server's access logs.

Good luck

For iOS, you cannot use https as scheme for deep links. You must implement the universal links implementation for the https scheme to work. To get it to work, you have to configure the associated domains and not the CFBundleURLTypes. Be aware though that there are currently issues with iOS 13.x.x due to the new format that apple uses.
