If you're using local app clip experiences to test those do not support displaying the smart app banner in Safari. They only work to simulate QR and NFC invocations. If the smart app banner does show up for a local experience today, that's unfortunately a bug. Our supported methods for test invocations are documented in Testing Your App Clip’s Launch Experience - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/app_clips/testing_your_app_clip_s_launch_experience, and please file feedback for things you'd like to see in the future.

Hi creatingrev, Are you able to invoke the App Clip Card via NFC in iOS 14 Beta 8? Thanks!

Hi bumbleparrot, I tested this with the Fruta sample project - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/app_clips/fruta_building_a_feature-rich_app_with_swiftui, and was able to get it working. Note that the sample project has been updated, and now requires the GM Xcode 12 and iOS 14. Here is the process: Configure the Fruta sample project according to the instructions in the README. Build and run the App Clip scheme on your test device once, so the App Clip is deployed to the device. On your test device in the the Developer app, define a Local Experience: URL Prefix: https://fruta.example.com. In theory, this can be any URL that makes sense for your app. Bundle ID: The App Clip target's bundle ID. Title: Something that makes sense, i.e. Order a smoothie. Subtitle: It's yummy! Action: Open Don't forget to save the Local Experience. Create a regular QR code or NFC tag with the same URL: https://fruta.example.com. Add the QR Code Reader button to Control Center on your test device. Use the QR Code Rea

Hi ZK (DTS Engineer)! Thanks for these instructions. I can report that it worked on iOS 14 Beta 8 There are two things different from the instructions you provided vs what I was doing. QR Code Scanning App Use the QR code scanning app via Control center. The camera app in iOS 14 Beat 8 no longer reacts to a QR code. It no longer prompts to open a URL. (The camera app still prompts to open Safari when it sees a QR code in iOS 13). Install the App Clip via Xcode Before trying to test the App Clip Card Installing the app clip via Xcode first will allow the App Clip Card's Call to Action button to take you into the App Clip. When the Safari Smart App Banner worked in iOS 14 Beta 5, clicking it would show the App Clip Card. If you had the App Clip installed (via TestFlight), the Safari Smart App Banner would take you directly to the App Clip, bypassing the Card. This is why I didn't install the App Clip via Xcode. I was able to reproduce this behavior by uninstalling the App Clip and going to saferhood.org in Safa

I’m invoking via NFC. I’m not using local expertise because we’re all out of that aren’t we note that iOS 14 is out. As for the URL it’s vbukit.com/tnd/ and the region set is everywhere shouldn’t we be out of the test environment? Isn’t it time now that we’re all public?

I am in the same position. My app is live on the AppStore (for roughly 12 hours now), A Repeatable List, however: the app clip banner does not appear on the website (https://www .atrinh.com/list/index.html) scanning an NFC tag to the website shows the App Clip card image as expected, but the lower half says App Clip Unavailable scanning a QR code to the website shows the App Clip notification, tapping the notification shows the same App Clip Unavailable experience as NFC sending the URL in iMessage appears as a link instead of an App Clip prompt I am convinced that it might be due to deactivated Advanced App Clip Experiences I have added during development and testing using different domains and websites. (There does not appear to be a way to remove these completely). I currently have 1 active experience that is producing the results described above, and 2 deactivated ones pointing to different domains & websites. The App Clip was completely fine during TestFlight testing (TEST/OPEN from

@rynning, I have found extra information. I have a spare iPhone that I wiped and upgraded to iOS 14. Without signing with my Apple ID, the App Clip works, even the banner on the website shows. Once I login with my Apple ID, the banner stops working, however the App Clip card still works from QR codes and NFC tags. Now strangely, when I reboot the device, I start seeing the issue, App Clip Unavailable. This does not happen to other App Clips that work regardless of whatever I do. Furthermore, when I sign out of iCloud on the device, the App Clips begin working again (without restarting). I have updated my bug report with the SysDiagnose data, hopefully we will get a response soon.

Same here. We have tried to get NFC Wallet certificates (http://developer.apple.com/contact/passkit) as a starting point to get closer to Apple VAS protocol specification, but without any response.

Same issue here. Weird thing is that dependency that uses CoreNFC installed via CocoaPods works. But breaks when I try to scan nfc

As far as I recall from the beta period, these banners did not show up until the app is published. The LocalExperiences feature is for consuming QR codes and NFC tags that represent an Advanced Experience, though they do not require any app store connect interactions to get running.
