Issue: We are currently experiencing an issue with deep linking in iOS applications when Microsoft Edge is set as the default browser on the device. Users, upon receiving an invitation link in their mail and attempting to open the app (if installed) via the link, encounter a problem where the Edge browser opens the app store as a popover. However, it's important to note that this URL functions correctly with Safari.
Attempts So far:
The integration of deep linking in iOS has been correctly implemented.
I have also verified the Apple App Site Association (AASA), which is deployed on the backend site, facilitating redirection to the application on mobile.
Testing the same scenario with other browsers revealed that this link does not work with Chrome, Brave, and Edge, excluding Safari.
Reviewing the Deep Link URL, it complies with the safe link policy. Removing the safe link policy from the URL and attempting to open it in Edge and other browsers results in seamless functionality.
I have tested the safe link with the Amazon product, It’s not working with the Edge browser.
I have raised the same concern with Microsoft Learn, Microsoft Community, and Stack Overflow.
For reference, I am attaching the safe link (Non-working) and the normal link (Working Link) with this story.
