What is ios-universal-links?

The README for this project is empty, so there's no detailed documentation to draw from. However, based on the repository's title and description, it serves as a demonstration of iOS Universal Links. Universal Links solve a common frustration for mobile users. When someone taps a link to your website on an iPhone, the device usually opens Safari first, then potentially redirects to your app. This extra step feels clunky. With this approach, if a user taps a link to your website and already has your app installed, the phone opens your app directly, skipping Safari entirely. If the app isn't installed, the link simply opens your website in the browser as expected. The repository includes both an iOS app and a web component, written in Objective-C. The README doesn't go into detail on the setup process, but typically this involves hosting a special configuration file on your website that tells Apple which app owns those links. The iOS app is then configured to recognize and handle incoming traffic from that specific domain. This project appears to be a working example of that two-part setup. A mobile developer or product manager would use this to understand how to implement a smoother transition between web and app content. For example, if you run an e-commerce store, a customer tapping a product link in an email or text message would land directly in your app's checkout flow rather than hitting your mobile site first. It reduces friction, keeps users in your app ecosystem, and prevents the awkward bounce between browser and app. Since the README doesn't provide setup instructions or notes on the project's architecture, anyone looking to use this demo would need to explore the code directly to understand how it works.
