How to add Universal Links to your iOS apps?
Users expect apps to work well. This sometimes means that users expect to be able to share content from your app with their friends. Or maybe you're building an app that has a web component where it just makes a ton of sense to send your users to your app instead of to your website.
There are tons of reasons why users might want to follow deeplinks into your app. One way to do this is with custom URL schemes. But those aren't great and only work on iOS.
In this video, you'll learn how you can add support for Universal Links in your apps by following a handful of simple steps. Enjoy!
