    <!-- Activities -->
    <activity
        android:name=".splash.ui.SplashActivity"
        android:launchMode="singleTask">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>

        <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="http" />
            <data android:scheme="https" />

On here it mentions that you need a json file under the website you're using app links for. So first, it looks like you'll need to add a json file named assetlinks.json under the folder well-known (under your website).

Then, in Android Studio, go to Tools > App link assistant. Once it opens, click the "Open digital asset links file generator"

enter image description here

Then on the right side fill the details, and click "Generate details asset links file"

enter image description here

Then, copy the json it provides and paste it into your assetlinks.json file. Let me know if this works for you :)
