iOS26 beta: AppClips are not working properly
Hi, As a company, we have several apps in the AppStore that contain AppClips. With the latest iOS18 it works without any problems. With all iOS26 betas so far, however, there is always the problem “ASDErrorDomain- Error 507” and the AppClip cannot be opened. You can easily test this by scanning the following QR code with the system camera: You only ever get this error instead of the option to open the AppClip. As the iOS26 beta phase is already at an advanced stage, we are naturally concerned as to whether the problem will be solved.

App Clips don't work
We're building a UGC AR app and are leveraging App Clips to distribute AR experiences without app download. Since earlier this week, many of our users are reporting sharing experiences as App Clip doesn't work anymore. They are getting the message "AppClip unavailable" on a little card. We attached a QR code to try it yourself and a link to a different experience. We tried with multiple experiences and on multiple devices already. https://scenery.app/experience/1C925FDE-E49A-489B-BA14-58A4E532E645 Interestingly, we can't pinpoint the issue to an exact device or OS. We tested on many devices and on most, the AppClip is being displayed as unavailable, stating "App Clip unavailable", whereas it works on a few. It all worked fine last week (before September 12th). iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS26: works iPhone SE, iOS 17: works iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26: doesn't work iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 26: doesn't work iPhone 12 mini, iOS 18: does not work iPad 9th gen, iOS 26: doesn't work Please help. Our users are very dissatisfied as they expect this to work and it's a crucial feature. We already filed a radar via Feedback assistant: FB20303890

App Clip Unavailable
I have published the app on the App Store along with its corresponding app clip, my app clip is configured with some advanced experiences for each one of my clients, but whenever some users try to scan an NFC or QR Code they see the card rendering correctly with their configured banner image, but with the message "App Clip Unavailable". The weird thing is that both iMessage and the website to which the associated domain is set and the apple-app-site-association is stored, renders the banner or card correctly, and when the users tap the banner or card they open the advanced app clip experience correctly without any issue. I have attempted to troubleshoot the issue by checking the following: if the app clip is below 15MB if we are using a second level domain in my associated domain both for my app clip and app (excluding the www subdomain). checking if the AASA is correctly stored inside .well-known directory checking the configuration for the advanced experience I opened a case: 102233443873, and added a bunch of videos and screenshot showcasing the issue, but I have not yet received a reply

App Clip Card’s “Open” Button takes 2–3 seconds to become active on first load
We are currently implementing App Clips in our app. While we have carefully optimized the App Clip size to keep it lightweight (~3.69MB), we have noticed that on the first load, displaying the App Clip Card and activating the “Open” button takes a surprisingly long time (approximately 2–3 seconds). Subsequent loads appear to perform normally. We understand that this behavior may not be directly controllable from the app development side, but we would like to know if there are any possible ways to improve it. Minimizing the time it takes for users to access the content is extremely important, as delays on the first interaction can negatively impact the user experience. Any guidance or best practices to make the App Clip Card and its “Open” button respond faster on first load would be greatly appreciated.

AppClip Not Launching from Physical QR Codes
Hi all, I’m having an issue with an AppClip (uncompressed size 14.8 MB, iOS 17+) that’s supposed to launch from physical QR codes installed on devices in the field. The AppClip works perfectly when invoked via a web referrer, but scanning the physical QR code leads to a "App Clip is unavailable" card. Even testing with an Apple-provided App Clip Code doesn’t work. Everything seems to meet Apple’s requirements, so I’m not sure what’s causing this. Has anyone encountered this or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance for any insights!

Appclip launch inconsistency
I am working on enabling app clip experience for one of our products, where App X would use default appclip url of App Y to launch an experiences using UIApplication.shared.open(defaultAppclipUrl). Im successfully able to build and submit to appstore by testing via local expereince, but later noticed a strange behaviour in production without local expereince setup, where tapping a button in App X (with default appclip url) fails to launch the appclip for the first time but loads fine from the second try. I learned that in background Apple would make a API call to fetch details about app clip availability in store and then proceed to launch app clip locally, hence the delay->timeout->failure for first tap. Once the invocation starts working it would be consistent. After couple of minutes of break say 20m, it again fails for 1st time. I'm assuming that iOS is invalidating the cache on device regarding availability of appclip in store and hence the API call is made again and there is a delay and failure. can you please help us with this issue.

Dynamic App Clip Card
Hi Is there a way to create a dynamic app clip card experience? I have advanced app clip experiences set up and working fine already and but I am looking to provider a more dynamic experience. For example, my invocation url now is https://mycompany.com/profile/<profile_slug>, this URL shows the app clip card with the title, subheading, and cover image as configured in app store connect which is right. But I would like to show a different title, subheading, and cover image based on the <profile_slug> in the invocation URL. Like we can show the name as the title, job title as the subheading, and profile's banner image as the cover image for the app clip It seems like this is possible as I have seen one company do this for their product. Apple has no mention for such a thing in their documentation from what I have seen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Bypass App Clip Card in Subsequent Advanced Experience Invocations
When an Advanced Experience is created for an App Clip, using the Camera app to scan a QR Code whose URL matches the pattern configured in the Advanced Experience will present the App Clip card. Currently, this App Clip card is presented even if the App Clip or main app is already installed In the device. Is it possible to show the card only when neither the App Clip nor main app is installed? For example: User who does not have the App Clip/main app installed on their device scans a QR code that matches an Advanced Experience User taps the yellow button and sees the App Clip card User taps ”Open” on the card and launches the App Clip, the App Clip is now installed in the device. User returns to the Camera app and scans the same QR code again Camera recognizes the QR code, yellow button appears, user taps it At this point, is it possible for the user to be taken directly to the installed App Clip instead of presenting the App Clip card again?

App Clip Custom URL not Invoking Clip
Subject: Need Assistance with App Clip Invocation via URL Hello Developers, I’m currently facing an issue with invoking my App Clip through a URL, specifically when the link is shared via iMessage or Email. Instead of launching the App Clip, the URL redirects to the website. Here’s my current configuration: Approved App with an App Clip Universal Links functioning correctly within the App (verified through AASA file hosted on the website) Associated Domain Entitlements included for both the App and the App Clip Universal Link is expected to invoke the App Clip if the App isn’t installed Advanced Experience configured in App Store Connect The default experience URL from App Store Connect successfully triggers the App Clip, but my custom URL does not. I suspect I might be missing a crucial configuration step. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have suggestions on what else I should verify? Thank you in advance for your help!

App Clip Local Experience with TestFlight
Hello, I'm trying to test an app clip in TestFlight with a Local Experience. Is there any way to test app clips "end to end" from a local experence? The clip I'm developing uses Apple Pay, so we'd like to be able to test the full experience using sandbox accounts. The documentation indicates that this is possible: documentation link Testers can also configure a local experience to launch the App Clip you distribute with TestFlight. However, you must still associate your App Clip with your website so testers can launch it from the TestFlight app. In addition, testers must launch the App Clip from an App Clip experience you configure for testing in App Store Connect at least once to ensure that the App Clip is cached on the device. I've had some success with running the clip from a local Xcode build, then installing a TestFlight build "over top" of the Xcode build, e.g. I can scan a QR code with a URL configured for a local experience and the card will show and launch the clip, but that seems to "expire" after a period of time. More information: App (but not App Clip) is currently live in the app store. App Clip is in TestFlight and launches using TestFlight experiences App Clip and App are associated with our website Am able to launch the app via QR code with a full installation from TestFlight Am able to see Local Experiences when the clip has been built locally and run on my device using Xcode Local Experience does not show when using a fresh install from TestFlight even when configured with the same values Local Expereince does show and work when using a TestFlight build installed over top of an Xcode build

Increase in app clip size.
Hello, I am working on app clips and I wish to know how is the code packaged when the build gets uploaded to App Store Connect? Is there any documentation around this or can you help me with what happens while generating the binary? I added 7 files to app clip target. Some are of 1 KB and others are of 2KB when I look for it's size on my MacBook. However when I upload a build to App Store Connect with these 7 files, I am noticing the size of App Clip increasing by almost 1MB. These files are code files i.e. .swift files and not assets. How is it possible to that the App Clip size grows by an MB for these 7 files? Even if I consider them to be 2KB each, shouldn't the app clip size increase just by 14 or so KB's?

TestFlight App Clip always display white card with "This app clip is not currently available in your country or region" error.
Hi, I have uploaded the Main App with App Clip to Apple Store Connect and launch in TestFlight. But at first build I wrote wrong App Clip's associated domains in the App build target ,and also mistakes in the AASA file. Then I correct it like appclips:com.***.***.AppClip in both places. However, I tried many uploaded version and it still display "The app clip in not currently available... " error. The domain is successfully verified in App Store Connect and the test version can dowloaded to device for testing. Only that it can't show the right Card as expected. I want to ask if I set the wrong domain in the beginning few builds, and correct it later. Will it work again or not? Moreover, the tester email is not the same as apple id for tester's mobile phone. I have corrected it . I don't know will it affect the result ,and maybe something have stored in Apple backend server for testflight data and need to be refresh to make it work. Thanks and please advise. Best regards Sunny.

App Clip Advanced Experience “Received” but Not Recognized on Device
We are implementing an Advanced App Clip Experience for our App Clip, but encountered a blocking issue where the configuration is shown as valid in App Store Connect, but is not recognized on device. We have run out of ways to debug and would appreciate help. Setup Summary Our main app is live on the App Store and includes an App Clip target. The Advanced App Clip Experience is configured in App Store Connect Status: Received Domain validation: All checks are marked as passed ✅ The domain's AASA (apple-app-site-association) includes the correct App Clip bundleID. ❌ The Issue When scanning a QR code pointing to outs domain on an iPhone The App Clip card does not appear. 2.Using the Developer > App Clip Experiences > Diagnostics tool on iPhone, entering the domain returns: "No Advanced Experience is registered for this URL." I’m very confused about why the device behavior doesn’t match the configuration status in App Store Connect. Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Delays When Creating Advanced App Clip Experiences for Other Businesses
Hey there, I have an app where I create custom Advanced App Clip Experiences for other businesses which seems to be a valid thing. I do create them via API. Upon creation everything looks fine: when I go to App Store Connect -> App -> Advanced App Clip Experiences, I do see the new App Clip Experience I've just created. Their status is Received (as any other active experiences) and have a custom URL. The issue is weird timing when the Advanced App Clip Experience actually becomes available on the iPhone (can be triggered via App Clip Code, etc). Some experiences become available literally immediately but others take days (some take 1-2 days, some take ~5 days). I'm not sure why there's a bid difference for an Advanced App Clip to be actually active. Does anyone have any kind of experience with that? I don't change domain settings, app's settings, etc. I'm just creating a new experience (both via API or manually at App Store Connect) and I do have different "activation" times for different App Clips. Same when I delete an Advanced App Clip Experience, it will still be available for next couple days. I get there might be caching stuff, etc. But the difference is quite huge and makes no sense since as I've mentioned some clips become available immediately but some takes days to be available. Thank you!
