How can I create and upload a apple-app-site-association file and JSON file inside a ".well-known" folder in Webflow?
In order to create and upload an apple-app-site-association file and JSON file inside a ".well-known" folder in Webflow, you'll need to follow a few steps:
1. Create the files:
- First, create the apple-app-site-association file. This file should be a plain text file with a .json extension. You can use any text editor to create this file and add the necessary JSON structure.
- The JSON file should contain the necessary app association information required by Apple for deep linking. It should include details such as your app's bundle identifier, associated domains, and any specific paths relevant to your deep links. Make sure that the JSON structure follows the required format specified by Apple.
2. Set up the ".well-known" folder:
- In your Webflow project, navigate to the Project Settings by clicking on the gear icon in the left-side panel of the Designer.
- In the Project Settings, select the Hosting tab.
- Scroll down to the "Folder settings" section and click on the "+ Add folder" button.
- Name the folder ".well-known" (without the quotes), as this is a hidden folder that is recognized by browsers and servers.
- Once you've added the folder, make sure it is in the root directory of your Webflow project.
3. Upload the files:
- After you've created the apple-app-site-association file and JSON file, you need to upload them to the ".well-known" folder.
- You can use any preferred method to upload files to your Webflow project. This can be done through the Webflow Designer or by using an FTP client if you have enabled FTP access to your project.
- Make sure that both files are uploaded directly inside the ".well-known" folder without any additional nested directories.
4. Verify the upload:
- To ensure that the apple-app-site-association and JSON files are accessible, you can use a web browser to navigate to the URL: `https://www.yourdomain.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association` or `https://yourdomain.webflow.io/.well-known/apple-app-site-association`. Replace "yourdomain" with your actual domain or Webflow subdomain.
- If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to access and view the apple-app-site-association file in your browser.
Remember to test the deep linking functionality with your iOS app to ensure that it's working properly. Apple has specific requirements and restrictions regarding the format and content of the apple-app-site-association file, so make sure to consult Apple's documentation for any specific updates or changes.
