FAQPage Schema
How do I set up universal links and app links in a Capacitor app?

To set up deep linking in a Capacitor app, you need to configure iOS Universal Links and Android App Links using the @capacitor/app dependency. This enables seamless navigation from external web links directly into specific views within your application.

What is the difference between custom URL schemes and universal links in Capacitor?

Custom URL schemes use custom prefixes to open your Capacitor app, while universal links and Android App Links use standard HTTPS URLs. Universal links provide a more secure and seamless navigation experience by associating your web domain directly with your app.

Can I use @capacitor/app to handle deep link navigation on both iOS and Android?

Yes, the @capacitor/app dependency supports deep linking navigation handling across both iOS and Android platforms. It allows you to implement platform-specific configurations for iOS Universal Links and Android App Links within a single Capacitor codebase.

What's the best way to configure deep linking for a Capacitor application?

The best way to configure Capacitor deep linking is to follow a comprehensive guide that covers both iOS Universal Links and Android App Links setup. This ensures you properly manage custom URL schemes, platform configurations, and internal navigation handling.

Why are my Capacitor universal links not opening the app correctly?

Capacitor universal links may fail if your iOS Universal Links or Android App Links are not properly configured with the correct domain association files. Ensuring proper setup of custom URL schemes and navigation handling strategies resolves these external link routing issues.
