I would like to clarify the expected behavior of a default App Clip link regarding tap responsiveness.
Issue: When I tap the default App Clip invocation URL in Safari or the Notes app, the first tap does not respond (no App Clip card appears). Only the second tap successfully presents the App Clip card.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Place the default App Clip URL in Safari (or Notes app)
- Tap the link once → no App Clip card appears
- Tap the same link again → App Clip card appears as expected
Environment:
- Invocation source: Safari / Notes app
- App Clip type: Default App Clip experience (appclip.apple.com URL)
Observation: This issue reliably occurs when there is no cached App Clip metadata on the device. When the metadata is already cached, the App Clip card appears on the first tap as expected.
What I've already checked:
- Not in Private Browsing mode
Question: Is this the expected behavior? Is there a recommended way to make the first tap reliably present the App Clip card even without a pre-existing cache?
Thank you for your assistance.
