We have followed https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/launch-resume/web-to-app-linking#register-to-handle-http-and-https-links-in-the-app-manifest to enable deep linking into our app. However, we can't seem to get it to work.
We've made sure
- to register to handle links in the app manifest
- to publish the windows-app-web-link json on our site
When clicking the link that should be linking to our app, nothing happens - we were expecting our app to be activated.
We're side-loading the app - to test the functionality before pushing to the Store.
Is there anything we're missing?

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
It is recommended to use test tool AppHostRegistrationVerifier.exe (Test it out: Local validation tool). Make sure it works locally first.
Thank you.

2024-07-12T08:59:34.0733333+00:00 Hello @Junjie Zhu - MSFT , upon trying out the local validation tool, we get no output from the tool. However, we noticed that
ForceValidationget a value of1in registry\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\SystemAppData\OUR_APP_ID\AppUriHandlers.Is there something we can deduce from this output? Thanks!
