Unless I'm missing something, App Links only work on Android mobile devices to invoke Android native apps, they don't work for web apps. On iPhone, universal links are hobbled outside of Safari (just like you can't install a PWA through Chrome on iPhone). So, they would be a solution if your wallet was a native app on the same mobile device (Android or iPhone), but they are NOT a solution if your wallet is a web app on the same device... or if you are on a non-Android or non-iPhone device -- like a Windows laptop/workstation. What am I missing? Is there some universal implementation of App Link / Universal Links across all operating systems that I'm unaware of? -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc.
