+- [ ] Make it publicly available (with no redirects or 40x) under `mywebsite.com/apple-app-site-association`
+- [ ] You don’t have to encrypt the AASA file if it’s served over HTTPS to iOS >=9.0. Otherwise, you will need to encrypt it.
+
+### 3) Prepare your app to handle universal links.
+- [ ] Add an entitlement that specifies the domains your app supports. (Add them in format: `applinks:www.mywebsite.com` `applinks:mywebsite.com` `applinks:subdomain.mywebsite.com`)
+- [ ] Update your app delegate to respond appropriately to `application(_:continueUserActivity:restorationHandler:)`. Receives an `NSUserActivity` object. If activityType is `NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb`, then that means it was Universal Link. Access the `webpageURL` property to receive NSURL user tapped on.

+### Some notes and gotchas
+- Use Apple AASA validator online. https://search.developer.apple.com/appsearch-validation-tool
+- The AASA file is downloaded every time you installed your app. So, uninstall/install to redownload the AASA file after changes are made to it.
+- If you long press on a link and select to Open in Safari then Apple will remember that choice and default to opening in Safari. So you’ll have to long press link again and choose your app to make that the new default.
