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?

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.

My main app does have entitlement to access Coretelphony, i would like to use the same with Appclips, though i was able to add the entitlement to appclip profile, i am unable to create archive for Testflight, i am seeing missing esim profile capabilities, is this not supported in appclips at the moment?

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!

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.

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.

Over the past two weeks, we have noticed widespread degraded performance in iOS devices not recognizing when links are App Clips. When scanning the QR code, it identifies it as a link, not an App Clip link and tries to open the link via Safari. Once in Safari, it still prompts the user to download the full app and not open the App Clip. Scanning with the Control Center "Scan Code" button gives an indication that it understands it's an App Clip link, but still does not open it correctly. In some cases, it will say "App Clip Unavailable" which is simply not true. After a few scans of the same QR code, the iOS device will correct itself and open the correct App Clip. There is no consistency and/or reason why it would do this. We have had a massive influx of users complaining that it's not opening the App Clip correctly. We have not changed anything on our website or app that would alter the efficacy of this issue. Have tested on a variety of different iOS devices on a variety of different operating systems (iPads, iPhones, iOS 16, iOS 18, etc) and they all have started behaving this same way. In addition, we've tested on other apps with App Clips and they are experiencing the same issue. My guess is that there is something happening on Apple's side with apple-app-site-association issues. We reported via Feedback Assistant but have yet to hear from anyone from Apple to acknowledge this is a widespread issue.

Hi - I use TipKit in my App and AppClip. TipKit is configured with the app group's datastore. The tips show in the App, but on the AppClip, with the same rules/state, the tips do not display. Is this expected? TipKit is not listed as one of the frameworks unavailable to AppClips. try? Tips.configure([ Tips.ConfigurationOption.displayFrequency(.hourly), Tips.ConfigurationOption.datastoreLocation(.groupContainer(identifier: BuildConfiguration.shared.userDefaultsSuite)) ])

I have an App Clip that uses SKOverlay.AppClipConfiguration to install the full app. Before I added a Live Activity call (Activity.request), the user could see “Install,” then “Open.” Now, once “Get” is tapped, the Clip immediately closes—no “Open” button appears. If I remove the Live Activity code, it works again. I’ve confirmed that parent/child entitlements match, and tested via TestFlight. Is there a known issue or recommended workaround for combining SKOverlay + Live Activities in an App Clip so it doesn’t dismiss prematurely? Any insights are appreciated! Note live activity is for App Clip only.

We have been having problems with our app clip not working when sharing through iMessage. The app and app clip are published and work correctly when scanning a QR code that points to the URL: https://www.coderus.com/locations?loc=1 however if this same URL is shared through the iMessage app, a link to the website displays and not the app clip card. We have confirmed that: AASA file is available and has the type application/json Both devices are above iOS 14 Both devices are in each other's contacts The website has the meta tag for the smart app clip banner The website has a meta tag for the og:image Launch experiences have been configured on AppStoreConnect - as said before, the QR codes work correctly The link leads to a 404 page, I wasn't sure if there needs to be an actual page that the link points to as app clips seem to work fine without when scanning the QR code through the camera app.

Our App Clips have been approved for about a week. However, our App Clips are not loading or previewing in iMessage. My friend and I both have an iPhone with iOS 18. Our App Clip minimum target is iOS 17. For both of us, the App Clip previews aren't loading in iMessage (see image below). But this isn't right—App Clips generally SHOULD preview in iMessage. For reference, when I send my friend an Instagram post URL, the app clip DOES load & preview in iMessage—suggesting it's just an issue with 222's App Clips. In the iMessage screenshot... the top url is https://rsvp.222.place/?id=0034d4c8-7dcd-44bf-89df-6dc1acd806d2 The bottom url is https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=place.twotwotwo.twotwotwo-ios.Clip (default App Clip Link) When I run either of these URLs in App Clip Diagnostics in Settings -> Developer, both of them are marked as approved and ready to go.

I have a SwiftuI App which includes an App Clip. There is one target for the iOS app and one for the App Clip. All good. But I want to create a new target for the test flight app so that test users can distinguish it from the App Store app. E.g. Test Flight app has a different icon asset file in the target but is identical in all other aspects. However, when I try to build the test flight target I see the message: The com.apple.developer.parent-application-identifiers entitlement (...]') of an App Clip must match the application-identifier entitlement ('...') of its containing parent app. This implies that I’d have to change the entitlement of the app clip, which would mess up the production version so I clearly don’t want to go that route. Any ideas how to overcome this conflict?

My app helps users connect to Wi-Fi networks, and I have requested the Access Wi-Fi information entitlement. This allows the app to retrieve the current Wi-Fi information to ensure the user’s connection is successful. Now, we are trying to implement an App Clip that enables users to connect to a specific Wi-Fi network through a QR code scan or NFC in certain scenarios. In the App Clip, I’ve requested the Hotspot entitlement, which allows the app to use the hotspot manager to configure Wi-Fi networks. However, since I cannot access the current Wi-Fi information in the App Clip, I’m unable to confirm whether the connection was successful.

In our app clip, we open/show the full app download banner. We used to have the expected behavior, but with seemingly no changes to the app download banner code we have the following issue. Expected behavior: App download banner shows in app clip, user presses "Get" button, app is downloaded and installs, "Get" button changes to "Open" button (note: button is blue), user presses "Open" button and the full app is opened. Current behavior: App download banner shows in app clip, user presses "Get" button, app is downloaded and installs, "Get" button changes to "Open" button (note: button is now grey), user presses "Open" button but nothing happens. With the current behavior, the full app is correctly downloaded and the appclip removes itself from the phone, but the open button does nothing.

Hello everyone, We recently (a week ago) released our app, which includes an App Clip as a target. Before going live, we thoroughly tested the App Clip functionality using both the "Local Experience" and the "_XCAppClipURL" method. During testing, everything worked seamlessly. After going live, when we manually create QR codes using the default App Clip URLs, such as: https://appclip.apple.com/id?p= https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=&clip= The App Clip card is displayed, and the functionality works as expected. However, we encountered an issue where scanning the App Clip QR codes displays the message: "No usable data found." Our App Clip QR codes are dynamically generated with URLs in the format: https://example.com/clip?id= We implemented an advanced App Clip experience with the URL: https://example.com/clip This advanced App Clip experience is currently showing the status "Received" in App Store Connect. If this issue is due to the "Received" state of the advanced App Clip experience. Here are the key implementation details for your reference: We have added the domain "appclips:example.com" to the App Clip target's entitlement. The AASA (Apple App Site Association) file is hosted at https://example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association This file has been validated successfully and includes the correct entries for App Clips. The domain URL is "validated" status on App Store Connect. The Advance app clip is in "Received" status. The diagnostic for the URL is showing like a screen shot attached. This issue is critical for our marketing and user adoption. Could any of you please assist us in identifying and resolving this issue? If additional details or documentation are needed, we are happy to provide them promptly. Thank you for your support and assistance in this matter.

Hi, hi We recently released a new version of our app that included an app clip. The actual app has been approved and released to the store but it seem that the app clip is not getting much love and not getting released. When we check the associated url in the diagnostics tools it just reports back that the app clip is not released and when I look into the advanced experience tab for in app store connect the status is just stuck in "Received". This app clip is a critical feature of our app so it would be great if anyone it would not be stuck in this limbo. Has anyone had similar experience ?

Hello, I want to know how to directly open the host app instead of appclips during the development and testing process of appclips

When we use the App Clip link to jump on an iOS17 device, the first click will not respond, and the App Clip pop-up window will not pop up until the second click. Proceed as follows: After the iPhone clicks the link for the first time, or clicks the ‘Clear Experience Cache’ button in setting-->Developer-->App Clips Testing On the Notes App on iPhone, click the link https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.example.naturelab.backyardbirds.Clip There is no response when clicking the link for the first time, and the window will not pop up until the second click. Is this an iPhone problem? Looking forward to your reply

Hi developers, I have a question if it is possible to open in my application not main window but a specific ViewController, when application is installed but not running. When the application is running in background and I scan QR code, then specific ViewController is opened over SceneDelegate and method 'userActivity'. But this does not work when the application is only installed, but not running. The Appstore link is here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/don%C3%A1tor/id6473955033
