## Testing

### 1. Validate Associated Domains

Verify that your app's entitlements file includes the correct associated domains.

Ensure that the `.well-known/apple-app-site-association` file is accessible by going to `"https://{your_storefront_domain}/.well-known/apple-app-site-association"`. Remember that this file will only be accesible on a custom hosted domain, and not a "*.myshopify.com" domain.

### 2. Trigger a Universal Link from terminal

With Universal Links set up, you can test the implementation in the simulator by triggering URLs manually with:

```sh
xcrun simctl openurl booted https://www.example.com/cart
```

## Troubleshooting
### 3. Universal Links Diagnostics (real device only)

1. Ensure Associated Domains:
Open "Settings" on a real device and search "Universal links":

Verify that your app's entitlements file includes the correct associated domains.
