Code examples

Good example
<meta name="twitter:app:url:iphone" content="myapp://timeline">
A custom scheme deep link handled by the app.
Good example
<meta name="twitter:app:url:iphone" content="myapp://article/123">
Opens a specific article in the app.
Avoid this example
<meta name="twitter:app:url:iphone" content="http://example.com/article/123">
A web URL is not the custom app scheme this historical field expected.
Avoid this example
<meta name="twitter:app:url:iphone" content="myapp://does/not/exist">
Invalid when the app has no route for this path.

Recommendations

  • 01
    Use a Tested Deep Link
    Provide a custom scheme URL that the iPhone app handles and that opens the matching content.
  • 02
    Legacy Field
    Test the result on X before relying on it. The detailed official App Card documentation is no longer published.
