In order for Apple and Google to permit deep links to open your app, a two-way association between your website and app must be created. One file for each must be created and placed within a .well-known folder on your website, like so: https://beerswift.app/.well-known/.

Universal Deeplink Android#

The Site Association file requires the SHA256 fingerprint of your Android certificate.

If you have enabled automatic signing in the Google Play Store, you can get your SHA256 certificate by going to https://play.google.com/console, selecting your app, Setup, App Signing, and copying your SHA256 app signing certificate thumbprint.

If you have not signed your app or enabled automatic signing and do not already have a certificate, you can create a new certificate:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore KEY-NAME.keystore -alias ALIAS -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Using your existing (or newly created) Keystore certificate, use the keytool command to list the keystore’s details:

keytool -list -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore

The printed output will include the SHA256 fingerprint:

Next, use Google’s Asset Links tool to create the Site Association file. Fill in the website domain, app package name, and SHA256 fingerprint, then click “Generate statement”:

Copy the JSON output into a new local file assetlinks.json

// assetlinks.json[  {    "relation": ["delegate_permission/common.handle_all_urls"],    "target": {      "namespace": "android_app",      "package_name": "com.netkosoft.beerswift",      "sha256_cert_fingerprints": ["43:12:D4:27:D7:C4:14..."]    }  }]

{  "applinks": {    "apps": [],    "details": [      {        "appID": "TEAMID.BUNDLEID",        "paths": ["*"]      }    ]  }}
