# twitter:app:url:iphone

Legacy Twitter App Card field for an iPhone app’s custom URL scheme. X has retired its public App Card reference.

## 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.
