I try to integrate the new iOS9 feature, SearchAPI/Universal Links, in a application that already include Handoff. For Handoff, I provide a signed apple-app-site-association at the root of my HTTPS webserver.

If I add the new "applinks" key to this file and re-signed, the App Search API Validation Tool give me this error for the Universal Link section :

apple-app-site-association file is not correctly formatted.

If I didn't signed the file, I got no error from the Validation Tool but Handoff (web to native) didn't work.

In the iOS9 release note, is cleary written:

Web Browser–to–Native App Handoff does not work with your app if the

apple-app-site-association

file isn’t correctly formatted and signed.

So, somebody know how to get both feature in iOS9?

Thanks.

note: Tested on iOS9 GM.

Per Apple Staff Jond, sign the file, and make sure your file is named

apple-app-site-association

and not

apple-app-site-association.json

. You should not have a

.json

extension on the file name.

The App Search API Validation Tool can be helpful in verifying your apple-app-site-association file is setup properly.
