Never apologize for long videos. 😉 For me the most important is to learn as much as possible from your tutorials.
Again great tutorial! 👍

Kyle Lee is just too funny. I love this guy

I implemented method in AppDelegate: private func application(_ application: UIApplication, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: @escaping ([Any]?) -> Void) -> Bool { return true}, so when i click on deeplink, that method is not invoked.

This was so much more useful than the 2019 WWDC official video on Universal Links. Thanks!

[hudajawed]

Thank you for your explanation. Could you also create videos that explain vulnerabilities associated with Deep Links and Universal Links, as well as strategies to prevent them? This is particularly important as I'm considering implementing either of these technologies in a banking app, and security is paramount. Thank you!

what is pattern? suppose with one domain, i have one domain, with multiple url

[rasmusb]

This does not seem to work anymore. At least in Xamarin Forms. Is there additional steps now, that apple uses a CDN to register the links?

[khawajasalman]

Wao, the guy has made the whole subject super easy. Thanks :)

Just watched the video and it was really helpful. Just a question
In safari it is showing top banner but on Chrome nothing happens with specific path on website. Also when i added “*” in path, then chrome is opening my app.
Any help would be appreciated.

What if my app is not installed on device (assume iPhone)? Assume from your video I want that user id when user install app from App Store and open App.

[mukulsharma]

A wildcard by prefixing * is not working in my case.

[make_reading_great_again]

Thank you. Easy to understand with your demos.

[lalitwaliyan]

Thanks Buddy for the tutorial, please clarify one missing point where it is redirect if App is not installed in phone.

[Charlie-fxvs]

Great video. Very informative. If I wanted to create only one simple universal link in my ios app, for example, to direct new users to a login page from an email link when they sign up, how would I do this?

[tsivagoud]

Can we open one application from another app using Universal links?
