How to generate app clip code image?

[pot2mayo]

This is more of a question than an issue.

When I access the site https://getfind.app I can indeed see the app clip banner popping up.
However I was wondering how to access it using a app clip image.

I tried to generate one using Apple official tool and the following command:

AppClipCodeGenerator generate --url https://getfind.app --index 9 --output ~/Documents/getfind-clip.svg

Which gives me this image:

However pointing at it with the iPhone camera just gives me a no usable data found message and nothing happens :(

Can you give some info on how to generate the actual QR code image please?

Great sample code by the way, really helped!

Sorry for the late response. This might help: https://github.com/alfianlosari/AppClipCodeGenerator, but @pot2mayo have you found a solution of your own?

Thanks for your reply
No I could not find any QR code that triggers the app clip.
In the case of https://getfind.app that you mention, which seems to be a perfectly working app clip when starting it from the website, even using the Apple official app clip generator I could not get a QR that works.

Actually the one I posted above in my original message is using this official tools and it encodes the https://getfind.app URL.

I also checked the Apple App App Site Association (AASA) of the website (here) and the clip is properly defined.

Really no idea how app clip gets triggered 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah me neither. I kind of gave up with App Clips. When I need them again I'll probably file a developer support ticket with Apple and post the results here.

I see 😅 This is crazy that it's that hard to figure out how those QR codes work.

Here is an example

Pointing your iPhone at it will instantly show up a link to the app clip.

The source website https://chibi.app/ also has a banner and here is the AASA
