Deep Links news: Universal Links

Hi,

A few months ago, we discussed what if anything was needed to enable 
native-app deep linking:

Apple iOS9 comes with “universal links”, which adds another mechanism to 
enable these depp links:
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppSearch/UniversalLinks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40016308-CH12-SW1

  (via a proprietary association file, "apple-app-site-association")

Compared to the Web app manifest file (that we described as our current 
solution in this space), it adds verification of ownership from the 
native side (i.e. a native app cannot claim to represent any random URI 
space).
