title: App Links not launched by Facebook App on iOS
body: <p>I am trying to use Facebook's new <a href="http://applinks.org" rel="nofollow">App Links</a> metadata to cause the Facebook app to launch my native app on iOS.  So far, it isn't working.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I've done:</p>
  
  <p>1 . I created a file called test.html with the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;meta property="al:ios:url"          content="MyAlScheme://test" /&gt;
  &lt;meta property="al:ios:app_store_id" content="123456" /&gt;
  &lt;meta property="al:ios:app_name"     content="My App Name" /&gt;
  &lt;meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  &lt;h1&gt;Test&lt;/h1&gt;
  &lt;a href="MyAlScheme://test"&gt;Launch App&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(* 123456 and My App Name were replaced with the real app name and ID)</p>
  
  <p>2 . In my XCode project, I registered the Scheme MyAlScheme in the app's plist.  (Note: Proof that this scheme works is below).</p>
  
  <p>3 . I sent a link to the aforementioned test.html to another user via Facebook Chat. </p>
  
  <p>4 . I clicked on that link and the web page opened, <strong>though I am expecting the app to launch</strong> instead.  </p>
  
  <p>5 . With the web page opened, I clicked on the "Launch App" link.  The app opens up (as expected), proving the the custom scheme is properly registered.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
