Are iOS app clips launchable from an URL?

The Apple description says that the QR code embeds an encrypted URL to access the clips. Is it possible to use directly that link like with deep links?

Are iOS app clips launchable from an URL?

From iOS 17 and onwards, it's possible to launch App Clips from anywhere in the OS.

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10178?time=312

You can also use notes app and save URL from code snippet there on iOS 17+

https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.test.App.Clip

It will launch App Clip Card on link click :)

When a user shares a link to a site that displays a smart banner configured for AppClip, then only message will present a banner that will invoke an App Clip.

As I understand, URLs can only be opened from Safari Smart App Banner. I managed to do that. Apple states in their forums that it is also possible from QR codes.

Looks like you can't just click a link - like in Universal Link - and the App Clip Card will show up.

If I understood correctly, you can set up invocation URLs in App Store Connect and when the system opens a registered URL your App Clip should launch.

You can learn more in this WWDC session and from the documentation.
