Android App Deeplinking using assetlinks.json

Question

I am trying to link my app to url, so that it will open the app directly without selector option.

I added below code in android manifest file but still it is not opening app directly.

        <intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <data android:scheme="http" android:host="domain.com" />
            <data android:scheme="https" android:host="domain.com" />
        </intent-filter>

After app installation I check I ran below command

adb shell dumpsys package domain-preferred-apps

but still it is showing status undefined for my app package.

  Package: <"package name">
  Domains: <"domain.com">
  Status:  undefined

Setting up the Manifest is only half of this process — you also need to do some configuration on your server so that Android can link the two together.

This article explains the steps. Basically you need to create an applinks.json file with your SHA256 fingerprint and then serve that over HTTPS from your domain without any redirects.
