How can I reset iOS 9 Universal Linking settings?

Question

While testing universal links on my iOS 9 app, I accidentally tapped "mywebsite.com >" (top right corner). This made the app navigate to the website again. Now I can't seem to make universal linking work again. Seems like iOS has remembered my preference that I would like to see links opened in Safari as opposed to my app.

Has anyone run into this? Is there a way to reset this?

Answer 1

@dan is right, long-pressing the hyperlink will give you the option to open with your app again through universal link.

If you have an Apple Smart Banner in place, you can also click on its 'Open' hyperlink to active universal links on your app again.

Answer 2

You can long-press on a universal link and it will give you an action sheet with an "Open in 'AppName'" option. Once you select that option it will default to opening the links in your app again.

Answer 3

sorry for my English. You need pull down in opened page in safari from email, etc to see button "Open" (this button is system in safari). If tap "open" after

I accidentally tapped "mywebsite.com >"

universal link will work again under the old scheme.The result of this action preserves.

Answer 4

for a Branch.io deep link the long tap (at least in GMail) does not work and also you can't pull down from safari, it brings you to the App Store immediately.

Instead, copy the link to Notes and then do the long press.
