Android instant app fails link verification on Android 12+ when using "*.mydomain.net"

looking for ideas to fix instant app on Android 12+

Tried everything could find in docs and on StackOverFlow

Manifest declaration is fine. .well-known/assetlinks.json is good, same as in Google Play Developer console. The instant app is working fine on Android <12.

When running: adb shell pm verify-app-links --re-verify mypackagename Logcat shows:

Instant app is installed and can be located through the Settings -> Apps -> MyPackageName
Any ideas are welcome

Solution

  • I've reached out to google developers support and was informed that's expected behaviour.

    They mentioned they will update the docs.

    Such a use case (wildcard domain e.g. customer*.mydomain.com) is no longer supported :(
