Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has experience with Smart Banners for an application not released on the app store, but still in TestFlight, specifically an AppClip.
I am working on an exisiting project where a Smart Clip is used with a smart banner on the website for core functionality. Previously, even in test environment (app is in test flight and not app store) the smart banner would correctly show on the website and allow testers to launch the app clip experience, however this no longer seems to work.
Its noted the test environment was last tested and deployed 2 years ago, and was working correctly, and there have been no changes to the website (the meta tag and .aasa file are all setup correctly). The only recent change was upgrading the app to support the latest iOS version, however beyond that no functionality in the app has changed.
Apple developer support hasn't been very helpful, and reviewed our account and stated "everything appears to be running as expected on our end"
Has something changed in Safari in that it no longer accepts test flight app smart banners, and if it doesn't, does anyone have any other suggestions?
Cheers

Hi guys, we have been stuck on this issue for over two weeks, please help.
Problem
We created a advance app clip experience which is current in Received status. We expect scan the QR code of the url of the experience will open app clip card (Using the iOS system scan tool in the control panel), but it opens the Safari to display the url.
We have search the internet for a few days and contact apple support, but it does not resolve the issue, and we are suggested to find help here.
Sample QR code that should open the App Clip Card when scanned
There are the details to help diagnostic.
apple-app-site-association file content
{
"applinks": {
"apps": [],
"details": [
{
"appID": "F9B4LW56P8.com.pisenpower.ChargerRental",
"paths": [
"*"
]
}
]
},
"appclips": {
"apps": [
"F9B4LW56P8.com.pisenpower.ChargerRental.Clip"
]
}
}
The AASA file is located at: https://public.pisenpower.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
The associated domains config
Full app target:
applinks:public.pisenpower.com
appclips:public.pisenpower.com
App clip target:
appclips:public.pisenpower.com
The advanced app clip experience list
The Settings - Developer - App Clips Testing - Diagnostics outputs
From an iPhone in China
From an iPhone in USA
The From Your Website section's outputs are different.
For both diagnostics, The Register Advanced Experience, App Clip Published on App Store, and Associated Domains under Codes and Tags section are not marked with the green checkmark.
Scan the QR code of the default app clip experience link,
The system opens the App Clip Card successfully.
URL:
https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.pisenpower.ChargerRental.Clip
Click the Open button of the Smart App banner can open the app clip card
If more information is needed, please let me know.
1.APPStore Arraignment passed. Not yet released. The diagnostic link configuration is not available.
Firstly,We filled in the configuration of the corresponding domain name, and the verification was successful.
My AASA file is configured correctly (general deep links work with it, as well as some app clip URLs) and is also configured for app clips.
"applinks": {
"apps": [],
"details": [
{
"appID": "xxx.com.xx.easyshare",
"paths": [
"*"
]
},
{
"appID": "xxx.com.xx.easyshareExport",
"paths": [
"*"
]
}
]
},
"appclips": {
"apps": [
"xxx.com.xx.easyshare.Clip"
]
}
}
Well,I used https://es.xx.com/send or https://es.xx.com to get diagnostic information is wrong
My TestFight config is ok
Another problem is that using NFT jumps directly to Safire.
My advanced app clip experience has been stuck in the "Received" state for almost a month. The default app clip works, but if I try to use the url for my advanced app clip experience in iMessage or by using the Link Presentation framework in another app, the app clip doesn't work. The url simply takes me to safari. Everything is green in the App Clips Testing diagnostics tool in developer settings on my iPhone when I enter the url of the advanced app clip experience. I am guessing that if the state of the app clip experience were to show as "Published", everything would work as expected.
This seems similar to the issues raised in the following threads:

Can someone from Apple please take a look at what is going wrong here? Is there a bug in the App Clips publishing process?
My app is available in TestFlight but has been rejected in App Review with the review feedback that the app clip "just shows a blank screen".
However, in the TestFlight app, the App Clip works as expected and brings up the clip. It also works correctly from Xcode testing.
Any ideas on what the problem could be? It is using the default App Clip link (appclip.apple.com)
We're encountering a UX challenge with the automatic App Store notification banner that appears when users first launch our App Clips (not the App Clip sheet). This notification, which suggests downloading the full app, is creating confusion among our users. We've observed that some users tap the notification instead of completing their intended action within the App Clip, interrupting their workflow.
Is there a way to disable this banner?

When Testfight tests the light app, click the configured light app link, and the button status changes from test to open, but the button cannot be opened and the light app cannot be accessed. May I ask how to solve this problem?However, when the main app is installed, the light app will be overwritten
What is the reason for the input box on the login page of the self-developed APP not working in the new version of iOS?
We’ve set up an advanced App Clip experience that successfully launches when a user scans our QR code. However, the same App Clip invocation URL does not launch when tapping the associated Action Link on our Apple Place Card in Apple Maps. Instead of opening the App Clip, the link falls back to the website.
What We Have Done So Far:
App Clip Launched in App Store Connect: Our App Clip is approved and live on the App Store. Here is the invocation URL: https://appclip.parkzenapp.com/park?q=oJrbSIgx
Below is the QR code for our Advanced App Clip experience we are attempting to open in our Apple Maps Place card
When scanning the QR code that uses the same App Clip invocation URL, the App Clip reliably launches as expected. Here is our apple-app-site-association file, thats correctly served from the associated domain: https://appclip.parkzenapp.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
Add here is a screenshot showing how the appclip.parkzenapp.com domain is correctly validated.
Advanced App Clip Experience: We created and submitted an advanced App Clip Experience specifically tied to our location on Apple Maps. This App Clip Experience is approved and live. Below is an image of our set up of this Advanced App Clip Experience
Business Connect: We've created the Apple Maps Location in business connect and added the advanced App Clip experience invocation URL as an Action Link in the place card. See screenshot below.
Apple Maps Place:
https://maps.apple.com/place?auid=906421750045811407
Despite meeting these conditions, when a user taps the Action Link (the "Reserve" button in the Apple Maps Place Card), the fallback website opens rather than the App Clip.
Question:
What additional step or configuration might we be missing to ensure the Action Link on our Apple Maps place card triggers the App Clip instead of the website?
Thank you
TL:DR:
How much time is too much when an App Clip Experience is submitted and just signals 'Received'?
Our Experience:
Our app counts with Advanced App Clip Experiences that we are constantly updating with new custom cards for different url paths.
Some times, the App Clip card is available 2-3 hours after publishing, some other times- it takes up to 3 days. The problem is, this becomes a bit of a black box and is hard to know if an experience is not available because of an issue or just taking longer to propagate.
We currently added some new experiences and they have been stuck for 5 days. Not sure if there is an error on our side, Apple side or its just taking time to propagate.
Someone has some information on how the Advance App Clip Experiences are propagated and at what time we should assume there is an error and flag it as such?
Thanks and Pura Vida!
My app contains app clips and it is already available in the app store. After setting up Advanced App Clip Experiences, it has not been able to take effect. I cannot wake up the App clips through the NFC tag containing the link. My Advanced App Clip Experiences status are always "Received". I checked everything I could and didn't find any issues, I also saw a lot of people on the developer forums having the same problem but didn't see a solution.
Setting->Developer->APP CLIPS TESTING (section)->Diagnostics-> filed my URL, result show below.
I can open my App clips by Default App Clip Experiences from Smart App Banner on my website.
Do I need to re-upload a new version for App Review, or do I just have to wait?
is there a solution?
I am working on implementing App Clip functionality in my iOS application. While I can successfully launch the App Clip using a QR code, I am unable to launch it through other means such as the Messages app or universal links shared through other applications.
Hello everyone,
I’m currently setting up an App Clip for my app, Pay Feast, and have run into a domain configuration issue when adding an App Clip experience in App Store Connect. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Steps Completed:
App Clip Deployment Config: In Xcode under my App Clip target settings, I’ve enabled Associated Domains in Signing & Capabilities with:
• appclips:website.com
• applinks:website.com
Created and Hosted the AASA File on my domain:
{
"applinks": {
"apps": [],
"details": [
{
"appID": "AAAAAAA.XXX.XXXX",
"paths": [
"*",
"/launch*",
"/launch/*"
]
}
]
},
"appclips": {
"apps": [
"AAAAAAA.XX.XXXX.Clip"
]
}
}
When testing the App Clip in the simulator, everything works as expected. However, in App Store Connect, when I attempt to set up a New App Clip Experience, I receive an error saying:
“This URL is not contained in your app’s associated domains. Update associated domains or use a different URL.”
Question:
Has anyone encountered this error or have insights on potential fixes? I’ve double-checked the AASA file and associated domains. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
I created this experience with mywebsite.com?l=1&p=store&p1=1314&table= , and it’s working fine. I thought that by passing a table number, I could identify which table the order came from. However, when I add mywebsite.com?l=1&p=store&p1=1314&table=1, it isn’t recognized, and the app clip doesn’t open.

Have anyone seen a orange microphone logo open on the dynamic island, and after you click on it opens a accessibility app with the black screen?

I'd like to be able to invoke an App Clip from an Apple Pass notification. I've been using an Apple Pass store card successfully. Ideally, I'd like to be able to tap the notification to open the App Clip.
I haven't seen support for this in the documentation, but I wanted to see if anyone had any creative use cases for something like this?
Can the App Clip card be invoked by tapping on a link (not a default appclip link) which is shared through message box or whatsApp chat or Email?
I gone through the reference of App Clip Card invocation from scanning QR code, App Clip Code, NFC Tag, Safari smart banner, default App Clip links and link presentation framework.
But I didn't find any reference or documentation that custom links will invoke App Clip Card or won't invoke App Clip Card. So, need reference if possible that App Clip card be invoked by tapping on a custom link which is shared through whatsApp chat or message box or Email.
