IOS Deep linking: URL Scheme vs Universal Links

Everything is connected nowadays. In a world where we share links as often as we do today, your app cannot be out of the loop. Deep linking is the idea of not only having a clickable link to open up your app but a smart one that will also navigate to the desired resource.

URL Scheme

Universal Links

URL Schemes

url.scheme = “com.myApp”
url.host = “profile”
parameters = [ “user” : “JuanFra” ]

Universal Links

{
“applinks”: {
“apps”: [],
“details”: [
{
“appID”: “T5TQ36Q2SQ.com.reddit.production”,
paths”: [“*”],
}
]
}
}
[ “/wwdc/news/”, “NOT /videos/wwdc/2010/*”, “/videos/wwdc/201?/*”]
