iOS universal link with url path containing "#!"

My iOS app has to support a universal link to a page something like

https://example.com/#!/game/home

And I am having difficulties in getting this to work. I have created an AASA file like

{
    "applinks": {
        "apps": [],
        "details": [{
            "appID": "ASDF35SDF.ios.mybundle.com",
            "components": [{
                "/": "/#!/courses/*/home"
            }]
        }]
    }
}

I also tried with wildcards instead of directly adding "#!" in the AASA file.

{
    "applinks": {
        "apps": [],
        "details": [{
            "appID": "ASDF35SDF.ios.mybundle.com",
            "components": [{
                "/": "/*/courses/*/home"
            }]
        }]
    }
}

Both didn't work. I have verified that my AASA file is correctly read (server logs). I have other paths without "#!" in the AASA file which are working correctly (thus making sure my AASA file is read correctly).

Any help is appreciated.

Update 1

Tried with new fragment components, but no luck there either

{
    "applinks": {
        "apps": [],
        "details": [{
            "appID": "ASDF35SDF.ios.mybundle.com",
            "components": [{
                "#": "!/courses/*/home"
            }]
        }]
    }
}

Anything after # is not in the path. It is the fragment.

Apple shows an example of using the fragment in their documentation

You will want something like

"#":"!/courses/*/home"

Apple will store your site association file in their CDN so it can take a number of days for changes to be seen by an app in production.

To avoid this causing problems while you are developing, you can add ?mode=developer to your domain entitlement and enable associated domains development in the developer menu on your device.
