Our app's App Clip version has been published to app store, but still we can not open "Edit Advanced Experiences" page, when we click on it, we will be redirected to the homepage of connect. Did I miss some settings, or is this a bug? We can not open the single detail page of "Advanced App Clip Experiences" Diagnostic information Associated Domain

403 Forbidden when editting advanced App Clip experiences in App Store Connect
For a few days now, we are getting an error page saying "403 Forbidden" when clicking the "Edit Advanced Experience" button for our App in App Store Connect. Also, the cache status for our domains says "Cache status updated on Feb 29, 2024 at 10:49 AM." which is almost a week ago. Are we the only app having this issue, or is it more widespread?

Confused about the appclip.apple.com domain
Question: I'm aware of the AASA file hosting procedure to make app clips work and link them to your website, but IIRC you can trigger app clips via the simple appclip.apple.com URL too, right? As a result no need to host the AASA file. Like my app store connect gave me the URL https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=myname.myappsname.Clip but when I click it it says "This app clip is not currently available in your country or region". However I'm also getting Bad JSON content on the View Status under the domain. I'm so confused.

Branding app clips for different businesses
Hello, I am new to app clips and working on app clips that will be used by different customers of ours and they would want to create their own app clip card with different images, title, subtitle and different parameters in the URL. I went through different WWDC videos related to app clips and also through the app clips documentation and all of them says that a different configuration for each customer needs to be made in App Store Connect through Advanced Experiences with URL's specific to each customer/business. If I am understanding it right, then the customers will have to share their images, title and subtitle with us to configure it in app store connect. That will be an extra overhead of handling extra number of requests for each customers. Just checking if there is any other way where the customers/business can create/configure for their own app clip card?

App Clip Not Launching – Correct Bundle ID and AASA, Still Not Working
Hi everyone, I’m trying to launch an App Clip for my app, and I’ve been stuck trying to debug why the App Clip won’t launch in production, despite everything seemingly being set up correctly. My setup: Main app bundle ID: com.release.cosa App Clip bundle ID in Xcode: com.release.cosa.appclip In App Store Connect, the App Clip is listed as: com.release.cosa.appclip My AASA file (served with correct headers from my domain): { "appclips": { "apps": ["com.release.cosa.appclip"] } } App Clip target and entitlements are properly set in Xcode What works: App Clip launches via local testing in Xcode (Simulator and physical device) App Clip works when triggered manually from Safari (while debugging) What doesn’t work: NFC tag or Universal Link from the real world does not trigger the App Clip On device, nothing happens – not even a fallback to Safari No errors shown to user

HELP: App Clip Card Doesn't Appear!
I integrated an Advanced App Clip Experience to my app. In trying to test the App Clip Card, the card does not appear when I tap the link on my device that is associated to the Advanced App Clip Experience. Listed are some contextual information: Testing on device running on iOS 18.3.1 Associated Domains: Main target app: applinks: App clips target app: applinks: and appclips: Archived and uploaded build to App Store Connect. Green "Testing" status via Testflight. On Distribution tab, green "Valid" status for build domain. Advanced App Clip Experience green "Received" status. Developer App Clip Testing Diagnostics: Green "Register Advanced Experience" status Green "App Clip Code" status Warning "App Clip Published on App Store" Orange Circle "Associated Domains" After looking at countless threads, I still cannot for the life of me find a solution to test the App Clip. Any guidance would be extremely appreciated. I had also submitted a support ticket with case ID #102552504973.

App Clip is installed but not displayed on the device.
Hello, I am new to App Clip development. I have uploaded a build with app clip to App Store Connect and the build is visible on the TestFlight. I am able to open the App Clip via TestFlight and I do see everything working, but the app clip is not getting added in Recent Apps folder and is no where found on the device. If I want to launch the app clip again, I have to scan the QR code again. When I use other app clips, like Panera Bread, the app clip stays in my Recent App/Recently Added folder. My app clip size is close to 75MB. Is the app clip not in Recently Added folder because the app clip is installed from TestFlight or is it happening because of the app clip size? Thanks!

App Clip stuck on Received & Not invoking via Universal Link
Hello, I've correctly configured my Apple App Site Association. Running a curl command returns: $ curl -L -i https://example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association HTTP/2 200 accept-ranges: bytes access-control-allow-origin: * cache-control: public, max-age=0, must-revalidate content-disposition: inline content-type: application/json date: [DATE] etag: "[ETAG]" server: Vercel service-worker-allowed: / strict-transport-security: max-age=63072000 x-matched-path: /api/apple-app-site-association x-vercel-cache: HIT x-vercel-id: [VERCEL_ID] content-length: 250 {"applinks":{"details":[{"appIDs":["<TEAM_ID>.<APP_BUNDLE>"],"paths":["/game/*"],"components":[{"/":"/game/*"}]}]},"appclips":{"apps":["<TEAM_ID>.<APP_CLIP_BUNDLE>"]},"webcredentials":{"apps":["<TEAM_ID>.<APP_BUNDLE>"]}} Additionally, inspecting the experiences JSON in App Store Connect's Advanced Experiences for App Clips shows: { "count": 1, "from": 0, "size": 50, "hits": [ { "bundleId": "<APP_CLIP_BUNDLE>", "heroImage": "https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/[IMAGE_TEMPLATE]", "createDate": [TIMESTAMP], "orgId": "[ORG_ID]", "subversion": [SUBVERSION_TIMESTAMP], "contents": [ { "default": true, "subtitle": "Tap open to view", "language": "en", "title": "Multi" } ], "version": [VERSION_TIMESTAMP], "adamId": "[ADAM_ID]", "id": "[EXPERIENCE_ID]", "status": "PUBLISHED", "link": "https://example.com/game", "appTag": { "appTagUrlEncoderVersion": "version0", "appTagSvgEncoderVersion": "0", "appTagId": "[APP_TAG_ID]" }, "modifiedBy": "[MODIFIED_BY]", "action": "OPEN", "isPoweredBy": false } ], "aggs": { "appTags": { "buckets": { "*": { "doc_count": 1 }, "null": { "doc_count": 0 } } }, "bundleIds": { "buckets": [ { "key": "<APP_CLIP_BUNDLE>", "doc_count": 1 } ] }, "statuses": { "buckets": [ { "key": "PUBLISHED", "doc_count": 1 } ] }, "hosts": { "buckets": [ { "key": "example.com", "doc_count": 1 } ] }, "actions": { "buckets": [ { "key": "OPEN", "doc_count": 1, "categories": { "buckets": [ { "key": "N/A", "doc_count": 1 } ] } } ] }, "vendorPlaceStatuses": { "buckets": [] } } } So it appears to be published, despite what the UI indicates. However, I still cannot invoke my App Clip via the universal link. The desired behavior is to invoke it from iMessage. Has anyone encountered this issue or have suggestions on how to resolve it?

Why my app clips is Unavailable
My App Clip is associated with three domains: • nfc.ttwifi.net • qr.ttwifi.net Currently, I’m experiencing an issue where scanning a QR code from qr.ttwifi.net correctly launches my App Clip. However, when I scan a QR code from nfc.ttwifi.net, it successfully displays the App Clip card but then shows the message “App Clip unavailable.” I checked the Website Status in App Store Connect, and both domains have their Debugging Status and Cache Status marked as Verified. One important detail to note: Yesterday, while submitting a new version for review, I noticed that nfc.ttwifi.net showed “Unable to connect to AASA file” in the Cache Status in App Store Connect. The cache status update time was March 27, 2025, at 6:52 PM. However, when I checked today, both domains appeared to be fine, and the cache status update time was March 27, 2025, at 7:07 PM. How can I restore the App Clip functionality for my nfc.ttwifi.net domain?

App Clips Advanced Experiences not showing up in Apple Maps and Siri Suggestions
Hello everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with App Clips Advanced Experiences and Apple Maps/Siri Suggestions. We have already contacted Apple Support before, but they are investigating the cause of this issue and it has not been resolved til date. The App Clip is bundled with the main app and has been already available on the App Store for several months. The business running the app has several physical shops and wants to offer the App Clip to show up in Apple Maps and Siri Suggestions at each location. The App Clip is correctly exposed in the AASA file, and it's also validated correctly by the AASA APIs available at https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1. { "applinks": { "apps": [], "details": [ { "appID": "TEAMID.bundleid", "paths": [] } ] }, "appclips": { "apps": [ "TEAMID.bundleid.Clip" ] } } (with TEAMID and bundleid being the team and bundle identifiers of the app) The App Clip is displayed correctly when loading the website and when scanning a QR code or App Clip code, but doesn't appear in the Maps app or in Siri suggestions. We have set up the App Clip Advanced Experiences on the App Store Connect page of the app, and each URL has been linked to a physical shop. All URLs are in the "Received" state, so they should appear correctly on Maps. Unfortunately, I don't see any "Order" button in Apple Maps at any location card. We tried with both iOS 17 and 16. According to feedbacks from people in the shops, they don't see the app suggested in the Siri Suggestions. I have just submitted a Custom Action Link on Apple Business Connect for one of the shops, but without success: the App Clip doesn't appear. Any idea why is this happening?

New App Clip Advanced Experience Card takes more than a week to be published
Lately, when adding a new advanced experience with a new path (with the same domain), it is taking more than a week to get published, when it used to take around 24h. Am I doing something wrong that causes the long delay? Someone else is having this problem? Is something wrong with our assumptions of how it works? Some assumptions and observations we have around app clip advanced experiences: Once the app and its appClip are published, new advanced experiences (new paths + cards) don't require a new app review When adding a new advanced experience, it gets reviewed before being published There is some bug where even after the experience is published, its status only shows 'Received' Edits of existing url paths (changing text or image) take less than 24h to propagate As a workaround we are publishing paths we are still not using with general app clip metadata and then editing when we require them, but this does not allow us to have custom path names for the experiences as we need to 'reserve' them beforehand.

App clip - Cannot Reach AASA File
I have an app binary (com.BinaryJigsaw.PlanHub) that includes an app clip that has been reviewed and approved. I have three domains in the associated domains, set in xcode. I have my AASA file up and running on my planhub.app domain (not the others yet - just trying to get this one working first!), but I am not able to set up an app clip experience. When I enter the URL (https://planhub.app) in App Store Connect I get: "This URL is not contained in your app’s associated domains. Update associated domains or use a different URL." If I look at the domain URL status for the build it says: "Cannot Reach AASA File". That seems to be incorrect as I run this test from terminal and get a 200 response and the json file is returned. curl -v https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1/planhub.app The bundle IDs in the AASA file match my app and app clip. Any help appreciated!

Error "The operation couldn't be completed. (CPSErrorDomain error 2.)" in AppClip sheet
A few days ago scanning NFC tags or QR codes for AppClips with advanced experiences started showing the error "The operation couldn't be completed. (CPSErrorDomain error 2.)" in the AppClip sheet as seen here: We are providing AppClips to our customers and they trust AppClips to always work, since it is a big part of their business. Since this is happening at our customers phones and on the phones of their customers, I don't have a sysdiagnose. I already created a feedback entry about this FB16601674. We checked everything, our AASA file, the Appstore Experiences.

App clips QR code is not being recognized and has become unreliable
Hello! We are writing as we recently have started receiving complaints that the app clips QR codes aren't working well. Users scanning QR codes will be taken to the website, where they don't even get the app clip banner. It seems to be a recent change, as we started getting complaints about it. I have also noticed this on IOS 17 and IOS 18 devices. Our application with this app clip has been live for over a year and we haven't had issues before. Example 1: The user scans an app clip QR code, but sees url and opening just loads the website. It doesn't show even the app clip banner. After moving back to the camera app and rescanning the QR code it shows the app clip correctly. Also now going back to the website shows the banner popup. Example 2: I scan app clip QR code. It shows just the website url. I scan another app clip QR code it loads that correctly. Now when I scan the first app clip QR code again it shows it also correctly now. Example 3: I scan app clip QR code. It shows website url instead of app clip. When I open IOS control center and close it then the camera app refreshes and it shows the app clip button instead the web link. I have videos of all of these cases that I could upload somewhere if needed. As it seems some links are not allowed here. Let me know if you need any more input.
