App Clip & Instant App

Light-weight entry points on iOS and Android before users commit to the full install.

What they are

App Clips (iOS) let users run a small part of your app from a link or QR code without installing the full app first. Instant Apps (Android) offer a similar on-demand experience via a Google Play instant-enabled module before the full Play install.

Set up in the dashboard

Edit a Flinku link.
Fill App Clip URL for iOS and/or Instant App URL for Android as provided by your native projects.
Save. Flinku routes eligible clients to these experiences when configured.

Platform behavior

iOS: Flinku adds the apple-itunes-app meta tag automatically on the link's Deepview page when an App Clip URL is set, helping Safari and Smart App Banner flows discover the clip.
Android: When an Instant App URL is set, eligible users can be routed to the Instant App experience before the full Play Store install.

Requirements

The App Clip must be created and associated with your app in Xcode first (App Clip target, entitlements, App Store Connect configuration). Flinku only stores and surfaces the URL you provide.

Link fields

javascript

{
  "appClipUrl": "https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.example.app",
  "instantAppUrl": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.app&launch=true"
}

Exact URL formats follow Apple and Google documentation for your app's clip / instant module.
