Error: Cannot parse app site association on apple-app-site-association file

When trying to add password manager and universal link support, we are getting an error on our app-site-association-file when validating at the validation tool, yet from what we can gather it's valid JSON and looks the same as what is in the documentation, so we are unsure as to what the error actually is.

Unfortunately it seems like there's a bug in the forums where I can't submit that JSON as a codeblock, apologies for the formatting

Unfortunately it seems like there's a bug in the forums where I can't

It works for me…

I'm also getting Error cannot parse app site association when using the "App Search API Validation Tool" against my site, flicktype.com. Although the links are working properly (opening in the app) on a device.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I recommend that you start a new thread for this. Whatever’s going on is unlikely to be related to the problem seen by dharr. Make sure to tag it with Universal Links.
