To verify an iTunes app, such as for enabling Universal Links or other app-related functionality, the file required is the Apple App Site Association (AASA) file.
This file is named apple-app-site-association
and is used to associate a website with an iOS app, including apps available on the iTunes App Store. This file allows your app to handle links that point to your website, so when a user clicks on a URL that matches the patterns defined in the AASA file, the app opens instead of the website.
Technical Notes
The file should be placed in the .well-known/
directory of the associated domain, at the following path:
/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
Example
{
"applinks": {
"apps": [],
"details": [
{
"appID": "ABCDE12345.com.example.app",
"paths": [ "/products/*", "/blog/*" ]
}
]
}
}
Webflow
Webflow does not directly support this file, but redirects may work.
Webflow has recommended this approach;

- Create your file, with the content you want
- Upload it to your site assets
- Get the URL of the uploaded asset
- Create a redirect from the path you need to your URL
- Publish your site
To ensure no problems with the redirects you can use a reverse proxy solution like Sygnal's Hyperflow to deliver your files reliably.
