Hi all,
I’m currently developing an App Clip, and for our first version, I want to exclusively use the default app clip link generated on App Store Connect to invoke the App Clip (of the form https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=<bundle_id>). I've published a build to App Store Connect, and I can see it has generated the link.
There is good documentation around testing App Clip invocations when using an associated link pre-release, but not so much for testing the default link.
I've read some things online that would suggest that the default App Clip link is not able to be tested before App Store approval, as the link only becomes active at this point.
If that is the case, can we test the default App Clip link invocation via an external beta TestFlight release, or do we need to fully release the app to the App Store to test the link invocation?
Any insights or experiences you could share would be greatly appreciated.
