Host the apple association file on IIS

Question

I'm trying to upload the apple association file into my IIS. And I'm using the following Validator to validate that my association file is hosted correctly on my server.

I'm always getting the following error from the validator:

Even tough my association file is displayed correctly when entering the link.

I've tried the following:

1. Putting the association file at the root of my application

2. Putting the association file in the .well-known folder

3. Adding an .htaccess with the following inside of it:

   <Files "apple-app-site-association">
       ForceType 'application/json'
   </Files>
   

Is there something I need to add to web.config? How can we put the association file at the root of my IIS that contains more than one application?

Answer 1

The issue was in MIME Types in IIS Manager, the problem was solved by adding a new MIME Type which tells the IIS to host the files with no extension as JSON
