Description

When you try to open an iOS app using Universal links from another app while the opening app is being updating, Safari will open an error screen(app will not launch). Is this a specification of universal links on iOS?

Also is it possible for the Main app to detect that the application trying to open Universal Link is being updating?

In the event of an app update, the application will be temporarily unavailable, rendering Universal Links and other functions that necessitate its opening inoperable.
