Associated Domains - URL not opening app

I am trying to redirect the user to the installed app when visiting *www.example.com/success* as well as show a banner when visiting the homepage.

With my current implantation the url DOES NOT redirect and open the app and neither does the website display a banner.

I am following the documentation found here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/supporting_associated_domains


My website is a simple create-react-app with a homepage hosted with Firebase.

I have done the following:

1) Add Associated Domains to Signing and Capabilities - *applinks:website.com/success*
2) Add apple-app-site-association file to /public/
3) Amend firebase.json file
4) Link to files in index.html

What I am using to validate:

https://search.developer.apple.com/appsearch-validation-tool

Testing by adding www.example.com/app link to notes and opening, It always opens in safari. I Have also tried reinstalling the app and restarting the phone.

Apple API Validation

I have uploaded a new app version with associated domains to the store and Link To Application has Passed with link www.example.com/.

When visiting www.example.com/apple-app-site-association

{ "activitycontinuation": { "apps": [ "team.com.example.com" ] },
"applinks": { "apps": [], "details": [ { "appID":
"team.com.example.com", "paths": [ "/", "/*", "/success", "/success/*",] }, "webcredentials": { "apps": [
"team.com.example.com" ] } }
