i tryied follow this article https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppSearch/UniversalLinks.html
I have developed an app that needs to be opened from the browser by typing my personal website url.
So i created the apple-app-site-association but i don't know where i can find the appID. I don't want to publish the app in the store, i want only test it with simulator.

We are trying to integrate Universal Links feature in our app.
We have an associated domain and put AASA file to server. However, when we install the app on iOS device and navigate to the url we are being redirected to the app store instead of opening our iOS app.
So the question is: Should the app be published in the AppStore to utilize Universal Links or is there some issue on our side?
You should be able to test universal links with an unpublished app. Since you're ending in the App Store, my guess is that it's an App ID mismatch.
An AASA ties paths on a domain to a particular App ID. The App ID has this format:
{TEAM_IDENTIFIER}.{BUNDLE_ID}
Is it possible you changed the Team in Xcode to something else? You'd still see the same Bundle ID but the resulting App ID would be different.
I need to submit my (in development) app’s bundle identifier as well as a iOS download url to a 3rd party service for some integration keys.
I’ve created an app on the App Store connect. My dashboard shows a bundle id but no download url. How do I get this?
Also where does this url route as the app doesn’t exist in the App Store yet?
App store URL’s will be in the following format:
https://apps.apple.com/[country]/app/[App–Name]/id[App-ID]?mt=8
For example: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997
It will not work on Beta testing, so you will get error message because the application is not available in App Store, but when application becomes live, it should work fine.
**As IchBinStudenten mentioned **
The URL will only available when you submit your app to the App store and pass the review and get submitted to the App store.
but you can use a services like diawi to share your app with 3rd party service provider via a share link from diawi if you don't want to use Test flight.
Well this question seems silly but its just the need now. I want to share my iOS app via any messenger so that other person can install it in its iPhone and test it.
I also want to know about the further process such as -
How to install app after receiving it.
you can use UIActivityViewController to present the sharing apps inside your app and you can send the itunes app link and message via that.
Now when somebody gets that message, he can touch the link you shared then it will redirect the user to your app in the appStore.
Please check the below link:
Xcode : sharing content via Action Sheet
Best way to share the app in iOS for testing ... [TestFlight] .

If your app is live than share itune link. if your app is not on appstore then create a url of app using enterprise certificates and share url. here are some tools for create url.
AppBox
diwi
Update:- You must need an apple developer or enterprise account for share and run app in real iphone device.
Is it possible to generate an App Store URL, in the beta testing phase of the app, before Apple Reviews the app? I would like to have a link in my app, to my app in the App Store, which users can share with their friends. I would like to have this available in the beta testing phase. Can one only add this link after it has been accepted ? Does that imply that it is always added in a revision after the first ?
Yes, you can get your app's App Store URL through iTunes Connect.
Navigate to My Apps > [the app whose link you want], then under More, you'll see "View on App Store". Right click that and copy the link.
This should give you something like this:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/[APP NAME]/[APP ID]?ls=1&mt=8
I've noticed that removing the /us (or whatever country code it defaults to for you) makes the URL universal, and iTunes is smart enough to detect the store.
Yes its possible to create a App URL after registering the application on iTunes Connect.This doen't mean your application is live on Apple Store, you just submitted required data to iTunes connect, so unique id got generated & you can use that to create URL.
Once you register application on iTunes connect one unique ID for your application will be generated. And you can create your App URL like below format.
https://itunes.apple.com/[countrycode]/app/[YOUR APP NAME]/[YOUR UNIQUE APP ID]?mt=8
But in beta testing it will not work, You will get error message because the application is not available in App Store.
Once application become live it will work absolutely fine.
Note : Once you register the application on iTunes connect you need to upload at least first version within 90 days else others will be eligible to use that name.
Find App ID= My Apps -> App Store -> App Information -> General Information -> Apple ID
Then your store url is below
https://apps.apple.com/app/id[AppId]
like this
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1513329198
There are many answers explaining how to create a link to the app in the iTunes store:
itms-app://itunes.apple.com/app/id{APPID}
My application is sending out an email via the sharing functionality in iOS7 (UIActivityViewController) which includes the above URL.
If the application has never been published before, clicking on the above link in the email on the iPhone device (the Simulator doesn't have the iTunes application) opens iTunes as expected but nothing is displayed.
How can I verify before publishing the initial version of my app that my iTunes link is indeed correct?
There is no way to verify, just hope that it will work, really. What I do is plug in the id of one of my existing apps during testing to make sure that works, then before publishing I grab the actual id from itunesconnect, paste it in, and submit!
