deep-linking

A reference for making links open the correct screen in a React Native app. It covers custom URL schemes and web links verified by iOS or Android.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure deep links, iOS universal links, Android app links, Expo Router linking, custom schemes, and login or payment return URLs.
Why use it?
It explains the platform files and cold-start cases that commonly cause links to open in a browser or lose their destination.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

deep-linking scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Two layers, different jobs

  • Custom schemes (myapp://...): trivial to set up, work from inside your own emails and QR flows, but any app can claim a scheme and browsers treat them as second-class. Fallback layer.
  • Universal links (iOS) / App links (Android) (https://yourdomain.com/...): the real thing. They need server-side proof files and that is where every setup fails.

Ship both: schemes for internal redirects (OAuth return, payment return), https links for anything a user might tap outside the app.

iOS: the AASA file and Apple's CDN

The proof file lives at https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association: HTTPS, no redirects, JSON body, appID as TEAMID.bundleid. The entitlement side is applinks:yourdomain.com (Expo: associatedDomains in app config).

The part that costs people days: devices do not fetch your file directly. Apple's CDN fetches it (first pickup within about a day) and caches it, so an AASA fix is not live when your server says it is. For development there is an alternate mode: entitlement applinks:yourdomain.com?mode=developer plus the device's developer mode skips the CDN. Use it for iteration, remove it for release builds.

If links still open Safari instead of the app: long-press the link and check for the "Open in app" option, confirm the file is reachable with curl -i (status 200, no redirect chain), and remember that pasting a URL into Safari's address bar deliberately does NOT trigger universal links; tap one from Notes or Messages instead.

The proof file lives at https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/assetlinks.json with the app's package name and the SHA-256 fingerprint of the certificate that signs what ships. The trap: with Play App Signing (the norm), Google re-signs your app, so the fingerprint must come from Play Console's App integrity page (the app signing key), NOT from your upload key or local keystore. A local-keystore fingerprint makes verification fail silently and only in production, which is the worst combination.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

deep-linking is a skill published in the GitHub repository AnilBurcu/claude-code-react-native (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 980 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
