What is the difference between universal links and deeplinks?

Question

iOS

What is the difference between universal links and deelinks in mobile development? Are there different workflows?

Answer 1

they both open the application from a browser (or other application), but there are "little nuances", in short:
1. DL requires the application to be installed or check before calling, UL can open a web page if the application is not installed
2. to support the UL application have an apple-app-site-association file on the host
3. Other notation format: DL - yourApp://path/to/content, UL - 4. Ability to redirect to the App Store if only UL has a fallback 5. DL calls a method in the app delegate, while UL callshttps://myDomain.com/path/to/content
