App clip with URL https://host/path does not match https://host/path/*

I set up an advanced app clip experience to be triggered by a URL in the form

https://domain/pf

and I am actually expecting it to be triggered by a number of URLs in the form

https://domain/pf/[uuid]

The app clip is correctly triggered by the exact "https://domain/pf" URL but not by the "https://domain/pf/[uuid]" URLs. Since the first URL triggers the app clip, I assume my .well-known/apple-app-site-association is correctly configured.

According to the original WWDC video on app clips (1) and to the official documentation (2) one should be able to catch all sub-URLs for an app clip experience.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

Is there no feedback on this issue? I can't believe that nobody is using prefix matching for their app clips, given that it's a largely advertised feature. According to the docs you can specify an advanced experience with URL

https://appclip.example.com

that would then be triggered by all URLs that match the prefix

https://appclip.example.com/shop
https://appclip.example.com/bike?q=123

Did anyone get this to work? I setup my advanced experience exactly like that (https://mydomain) and still all QR codes and app-clip codes pointing to https://mydomain/whatever do not open the app clip.

The only thing I am getting so far is a message "No usable data found" (see imgur.com/ckQIDAm).

Looking forward to some feedback on this -- I have been struggling for more than one week on enabling this feature in the App Store.

Thanks
Alessandro
