Universal deep link for iOS 9

I would like to implement universal deep links for our apps. One of the requirement from the Apple is that apple-site-association file has to be on HTTPS web server. Is it just that or whole website needs to be https.

I've implemented universal links recently, and here are some points:

  • Your apple-app-site-association file should be accessible through https. No other way around this.
  • If your site is http only, then you have to sign the apple-app-site-association file. Using the same certificates that are used for the https apple-app-site-association file access.
  • If your site is fully https, then you don't have to sign the apple-app-site-association file, you can just upload it as is.

I know I've said apple-app-site-association too often :), but I hope this helps.
