QR code for an AppClip scans in 4-5 sec

Hey guys,

We have developed an application using AppClip. It works ok besides the fact that when we scan QR code, it sometimes takes up to 4-5 seconds for the AppClip banner to appear on top of the screen. It is a long wait for UI/UX. When users wait that long they think they're doing something wrong.

Our server processing times are OK (server with asset links is on the AWS, it works fast ~10-50ms).

Also, if you scan twice in the next few minutes, it opens the banner instantly. If you lock the phone and leave it for 15-20 minutes, we get longer wait again.

Any ideas what may cause such poor performance? We assume that iPhone might be connecting with AppStore to validate AppClip or something? How we can control these lags and lower them?
