In the video Streamline your App Clip at 16:05 Luming demonstrates how scanning a QR code will invoke the App Clip he just build with XCode. I can't reproduce this.

So far I've:

Adding a smart banner to our website
Added entry to apple-app-site-association
Created an App Clip
Declared the Associated Domains capability
Implemented func respondTo(_ activity: NSUserActivity?) {

Am I missing something, or is this just not possible with debug apps?

Or should we rely on passing the _XCAppClipURL variable and using the actions in testflight later when using Testflight when App Clips will be available later this year?

Hi there,

Please use _XCAppClipURL environment variable for now and later TestFlight when it becomes available. If you have ideas about how we can improve testing app clip invocations, please let us know using Feedback Assistant.

When will the App Clip cards actually work (I mean the pop up with the image, title, subtitle and action button)?

After you’ve uploaded and set them up in App Store Connect.
After a build has been approved within TestFlight.
Only after the app has been approved and in the App Store.

Thanks
