QR code scan deeplink not work in XCode test run?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what is true here - if I am not in the correct forum please direct me :-)

A. It is not possible to test a QR code scan that contains a deeplink into my iOS app from an XCoode build test run.

In other words, The build must be published to Test Flight for the iOS's QR code scan sub-system to be able to process the deeplink into my app?

If I am wrong about this, it sure would help with testing to be able to test directly from the local XCode build test. If so, can someone point me in the direction of what I would need to do for that?

Thanks for your input either way!

Thanks for your question, an QR code is a url, you can use Universal Links to open your app.

Universal Links are the standard for iOS, but they can be tricky to test locally because iOS needs to download the apple-app-site-association (AASA) file from your web server when the app is installed.

Let me know if you need help configuring the Associated Domains or the AASA file!
