Deep linking is usually explained through routing code on the mobile side. That part matters, but in the world of verified links there is another quiet, critical piece: the server-side preparation.

iOS Universal Links and Android App Links want to establish a secure association between a domain and an app. That association is not verified from inside the app — it is verified through small JSON files published under the domain. If the file sits at the wrong path, gets redirected, has a wrong MIME type, or is not publicly reachable, the link may never make it into the app, no matter how correct your mobile code is.
