deep linking

[thabti]

Salam,

I am working the quranic audio iOS/Android app. I want to link to the iOS application (when possible), does this application implement deep linking?

thanks

Salam,

No, we don't support any deep/universal linking. But let us know what you would like us to support and we will be more than happy to implement them.

salam,

I want to able to link to https://quran.com/1 or quran://chapter/1 and when the app is available it will open to that given surah.

This might require some work on the quran.com app, so I will research a little on the product and see what we need from the web side.

[mohamede1945]

I think we can easily handle https://quran.com/1 and the web app will only need to upload a small JSON file apple-app-site-association, check the documentation for iOS here.

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppSearch/UniversalLinks.html

Also, I think we should handle going straight to an Ayah/Verse as in https://quran.com/113/2

@mohamede1945 That would be amazing, I will raise a PR for those paths. Can you provide me with the appID, it should look something like this: 2TDUX39LX8.com.reddit.Reddit.

@mohamede1945 any update regarding the appID?

[mohamede1945]

Sorry for late reply. I was a little bit busy. I put it in the PR.

No worries @mohamede1945 - Thank you.
I pushed the path and it can be confirmed here (http://staging.quran.com/apple-app-site-association).

Would it possible to support quran.com and staging.quran.com ?

I am available to do any testing whenever you require it.

thanks.

I would like to push for this again. For us to test it we need to support staging.quran.com - I will try to help get this done in the coming days. I think the endpoint /apple-app-site-association has problems, which I will fix.

[mohamede1945]

Thanks a lot and sorry for late reply. I went through a lot in the last 2 weeks.

no worries bro - inshallah you're well :( 🙌
