Hi all,

I’m having an issue with an AppClip (uncompressed size 14.8 MB, iOS 17+) that’s supposed to launch from physical QR codes installed on devices in the field. The AppClip works perfectly when invoked via a web referrer, but scanning the physical QR code leads to a "App Clip is unavailable" card. Even testing with an Apple-provided App Clip Code doesn’t work. Everything seems to meet Apple’s requirements, so I’m not sure what’s causing this. Has anyone encountered this or know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Same problem here, really frustrating and annoying since I can't seem to find anything on my side that would cause this. And it worked perfectly fine just days ago.

I think it needs to be under 15MB if it is a physical QR code

This seems to be related to iOS26, app clips also no longer work over NFC
