Direct App Deep Link not working evethough all configs are correct in Android

Question

I am trying App Linking from URL in Android , that is opening app directly when clicking a respective link without showing suggestions from intent chooser (app not yet live in play store )

Eventhough all of my configs are correct ... Direct app Link is not working , only I am getting app name in the suggestions

I also tried with app link verifier from google .

It having an weird issue

In the initial attempts , its showing as No app deep linking permission found for app.glowify.glowify at admin.glowify.com.

After clicking Test Statement button 2 or 3 times , I am getting "grants deep linking"

So I cross-checked the json in URL with the json from "Generate Statement" with json uploaded in the link https://admin.glowify.app/.well-known/assetlinks.json using JSON comparing tools and they confirmed that both contents are identical

But still app link not directly opening app .

So I check my manifest files again

Here is that:

<activity
    android:name=".ui.entry.EntryActivity"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait">

    <intent-filter android:label="Glowify" android:autoVerify="true" >

        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

        <data
            android:host="admin.glowify.app"
            android:pathPrefix="/password/verification"
            android:scheme="http" />
        <data
            android:host="admin.glowify.app"
            android:pathPrefix="/password/verification"
            android:scheme="https" />
        <data
            android:host="admin.glowify.app"
            android:pathPrefix="/room"
            android:scheme="http" />
        <data
            android:host="admin.glowify.app"
            android:pathPrefix="/room"
            android:scheme="https" />
        <data
            android:host="admin.glowify.app"
            android:pathPrefix="/user/verification"
            android:scheme="http" />
        <data
            android:host="admin.glowify.app"
            android:pathPrefix="/user/verification"
            android:scheme="https" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

I check with these code and they seems to be fine !!!

But still I can't get my direct app linking to work . Only getting app name in intent suggestion to open

I read many stack overflow questions , but none of them helped or matches

Kindly please help me to resolve this issue

Answer 1

In my case, the problem was due to the assetlinks.json response content type.

The assetlinks.json file must be served as Content-Type: application/json in the HTTP headers, and it cannot be a redirect (that is, 301 or 302 response codes are not followed).

Answer 2

Just an add on: getting filename wrong can also show this error. Do verify the file name and path are correct. I mistakingly had the filename as asset-links.json, while Google service searched for assetlinks.json. Cheers
