Does app clip support shorten URLs?
Most of the times, iOS apps share the links using shorten URLs due to character limit. As per few answers - https://stackoverflow.com/a/1562539 I read to understand how shorten URLs work, I understand that shortly service reads the "path" value to get original long URL corresponding to shorten URL & then they issue a redirect, which is a HTTP 301/302 response and the target URL in the header. Considering this, if iOS can read the target URL after redirection then I think we could use shorten URL. In WWDC videos & app clip documentation, I do not see any reference about shorten URLs. Did anyone tried or aware whether app clip will support shorten URLs for invocation?
