We use deep linking to simplify the card activation for the user.
This scheme has a trust association to our server and only works if assetlinks.json and apple-app-site-association files are properly deployed on our webserver.
We need this scheme because some mail clients can not resolve a custom scheme if we send activation links via mail.
Please note that we only have one web application for all projects and the ProjectConfig is depending on the url.
So in nginx redirects are configured for each project to reach the particular association file:
https://staging.bayern.ehrenamtskarte.app/.well-known/assetlinks.json -> bayern/assetlinks.json
The custom scheme berechtigungskarte is basically used for local testing and can also be used as a fallback if https scheme is not working.
The card activation links will be printed on the pdf or send via mail. It's important that the activationCode is uriEncoded.

These are local activation codes are local and won't work on real devices.
We use a fragment (code#) for the activation code to avoid sending user data to the server
Install: npm i -g uri-scheme if you want to use the simplified command
For android trusted associations, which are required for https schemes, only work with signed apks out of the box. For local development you have to install the app and add these domains manually.
