Hi, I’m still not sure what we can rely on for our use case.
Our flow:
The user taps a link on our domain (link.example.com/path) and that URL is not a Universal Link.
Our server responds with an HTTP 302 to a different domain that is a Universal Link.
The client (Safari) follows the redirect and loads that Universal Link URL.
We need to know: on iOS 18.3+, will the system open our app when the user ends up on that Universal Link URL after this 302, or will they stay in the browser / go to the App Store?
After reading this thread and the document I'm confused because we have:
Documentation that allows (but doesn’t prefer) redirect to a Universal Link
Forum guidance to avoid redirects.
Your suggestion to “explore alternative redirection methods” and “implement your own solution,” without specifying what method works and which not.
We have a business requirement to use a short link that redirects to the Universal Link, so we would appreciate a response.
Thanks!
