Thanks for your post and interesting on your comment about: Long press on the Safari icon and choose Remove app If you make the system avoid using Universal Links by telling how to handle the link. Since you mentioned universal links, make sure there's no conflict with any custom URL schemes defined in your app's . Universal links should ideally not interfere with opening URLs in a browser unless specifically set up to redirect to an app.
Since you observed different behavior on iOS 26.0+, double-check whether this is related to a beta version or a specific OS bug. Review Apple's release notes or beta forums for any related issues and consider filing a bug report if necessary. Ensure you're testing on various devices and simulators, as sometimes configuration or environment-specific issues can cause unexpected behavior. But I’m wondering if you are disabling the link itself, you can see that on the swctutils file search for the link itse
