We want to use QR codes for App Clips however we need to cater to both iPhone users and non-iPhone users.

Can we use Apple's new App Clip QR code (or a generic QR code) for everyone? i.e. if an Android user scans it, can we just send them to our website while the iPhone user gets the App Clip?

Better to use a generic QR code as I don't think an Android phone would be able to read the new circular QR code like format Apple are introducing.

Just create a QR code with a URL (e.g. https://example.com/store), and then add that URL as an App Clip in your iOS app. This will mean users who have iOS 14 will get your app clip when they scan the QR code, everyone else (including Android) users will just go to that URL in their browser.
