How do I implement universal links in my React Native app?

To implement universal links in your React Native app, you'll need to configure both your app and your web server. First, ensure your app is set up to handle universal links by modifying the Info.plist for iOS and the AndroidManifest.xml for Android.

What changes do I need to make in the Info.plist?

In the Info.plist, you need to add an entry for Associated Domains. It should look like this: applinks:yourdomain.com. This tells iOS to handle links from your domain.

And for Android?

For Android, you need to add an intent filter in your AndroidManifest.xml. It should look like this:

<intent-filter android:label="filter">
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <data android:scheme="https" android:host="yourdomain.com" />
</intent-filter>

Is there anything else I need to do?

Yes, make sure your web server is set up to serve the apple-app-site-association file for iOS and the assetlinks.json file for Android. These files help verify your app's association with the domain.
