assetlinks domain vs host

Question

I am trying to setup applinks in my android app. In my manifest file I have something like this:

            <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="https"
                        android:host="myapp.example.com" />
            </intent-filter>

So my question is where EXACTLY will the app try to download the assetlinks.json file:

a - https://myapp.example.com/.well-know/assetlinks.json
b - https://example.com/.well-know/assetlinks.json
c - https://www.example.com/.well-know/assetlinks.json

Thanks for your help

According to this Google Guide, it'll try to download from:

https://myapp.example.com/.well-known/assetlinks.json

yep, this makes sense. Thanks a bunch. – Didier Prophete Sep 14 '20 at 04:14
also, if I use a wildcard, like `android:host="*.example.com"`, do you think it goes to `https://example.com/.well-know/assetlinks.json` ? – Didier Prophete Sep 14 '20 at 04:17
I guess I found the answer to my 2nd question in the same link ;-) For those interested, if you use a wildcard, it will try to download from `https://example.com/.well-know/assetlinks.json` – Didier Prophete Sep 14 '20 at 04:21
