Deep links

Handling deep/universal links

Follow this documentation to get started with deep/universal linking in the Knock iOS SDK.

#

Follow the steps below to configure URLs that deeply link to specific content in your iOS application.

1

Define URL schemes

  • In Xcode, navigate to your app target's Info tab.
  • Add a new URL type under URL Types with a unique scheme.
Xcode Project Info
2
  • In your trigger data payload that you send to Knock, include a property with a value for your deep link. The name of the property doesn't matter, so long as you know beforehand what it will be called.
  • You can configure the format of the API request sent to APNs in your workflow step's payload overrides.

3

Handle incoming URLs from a push notification

You can handle incoming URLs from a push notification by implementing the pushNotificationTapped method in your KnockAppDelegate. This can also be done manually.



#

Universal links will redirect users to a browser when the app is not installed.

1

Enable Associated Domains

  • Add the Associated Domains capability in your app target's Signing & Capabilities tab.
  • Add your domain in the format applinks:yourdomain.com.
2

Implement application(_:continue:restorationHandler:) in your AppDelegate or SceneDelegate.

3

Server configuration

  • Ensure your server hosts an Apple App Site Association (AASA) file at https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association.
