I followed instructions at : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/app_clips/testing_your_app_clip_s_launch_experience

I could test the local invocation via NFC , but for QR code it isn't working. Did anyone succeed with QR Coe local experiences testing? If so how?

Found the solution - it works if QR code is scanned via Control Center and not via Camera!!

I really would like to know if/when the Camera app will be updated to display app clip cards when a QR code is detected. It doesn't work in the iOS 14 GM, and most people don't use or even know about the Control Center QR code scanner...

Can we get an official response?

There is a known issue that local experiences only work if scanned via the QR Code Reader app. This doesn't apply to real app clip experiences, only the local test ones.

In order for this to work for mainstream users, we need the camera and the control center to trigger the app clip.

It would be nice to get an official response.

FYI

App Clips
Resolved in iOS & iPadOS 14.4 Beta
In addition to using Code Scanner, you can now launch a local experience via Camera, NFC, Safari Smart App Banner, or iMessage. (68962905)
