Apple CDN not picking up updated apple-app-site-association file (valid, 200, since Oct 2)
Apple's AASA CDN is still serving an old version of our apple-app-site-association file, 10 days after we updated it on our server. Setup App ID: 4572YRV3M6.gr.kathimerini.Kathimerini Entitlement: applinks:www.kathimerini.gr File: https://www.kathimerini.gr/.well-known/apple-app-site-association The site is behind Cloudflare. Change We added this exclude, placed before the /syndromes/* entry: { "/": "/syndromes/gastronomos-prosfora/*", "exclude": true }, { "/": "/syndromes/*" }, What we see Our server returns the new file: HTTP 200, Content-Type: application/json, no redirects, valid JSON. The Last-Modified header is Fri, 02 Oct 2026 07:06:39 GMT. It returns the same response when requested with -A "AASA-Bot/1.0.0". https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1/www.kathimerini.gr still returns the old file without the new rule. A clean install on a test device still uses the old rules. Questions Is there a way to see whether Apple's crawler is failing to fetch our file, and why? Can the CDN copy be refreshed, or is there a typical maximum delay? Is there a Cloudflare or caching configuration known to cause this? Thanks!
