When you tap a link in iOS, the system looks through the database of installed apps supported URLs to see if it matches a pattern an installed app can handle. The website and app listing in iTunes are linked by the developer – so it prevents anyone from hijacking your website with their app.

When you install an app, iOS downloads this associated file and updates your own database of what URLs your installed apps can open. For example, following a link to a Guardian article opens up the Guardian app to that specific article instead of their website.Īpp developers put an app association file on their website which lists which types of URLs the app can open. In iOS 9 Apple introduced Universal Links, these allow app developers to associate their website and app, so links to the website can open the app up automatically if installed. This issue was reported by some users on 9.2.1 but has only become widespread since 9.3 was released on 21st March 2016. A long press on a broken link causes the app you’re in to crash, otherwise a standard tap highlights the link but nothing happens. If you haven’t got the problem – don’t install the app (read on for more info).Ī lot of users (including myself and a few friends) are experiencing links in Mail and Messages not working, and some links in Safari, like Google Search results, not opening. A reboot sometimes temporarily fixes the issue, and turning off JavaScript gets Google search results working again. Short version: there is currently no fix for this – we’re waiting on Apple to resolve. Even reinstalling the app and rebooting doesn’t fix it – the swcd (shared web credentials daemon) crashes once it’s got corrupt data in it.

Update One 13:00 March : have updated their association file – it’s now only 4KB – this hasn’t fixed the issue but should prevent new users that install from hitting the same problem. Update Two 15:00 March : it looks like it might not be the size of the association file but an issue with Shared Web Credentials – which allows apps / websites to share login info. Update Three 22:20 March : a few updates have occurred to the app, as these have appeared quicker than Apple would usually review them, my guess would be Apple is working with to try and find a workaround without requiring a whole iOS release. Apparently he spent four hours getting it working. Update Four 11:10 March : there’s a fix! There are a lot of steps, but if you really want to get back in action Wojtek Pietrusiewicz has a fix.

I’ve posted a shorter fix – here’s how to fix it with an iTunes sync and Airplane mode!
