Hello, I developed an app for a shopify store with React Native using shopify graphql API, I’m trying to implement deep linking into the app but it’s not working, to activate the deep linking functionality we need to host verification files on the server by hosting some files (IOS/Android), how can we achieve this on shopify? this is a link for reference: https://reactnavigation.org/docs/deep-linking

You can use a cloud hosting provider such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to host the verification files.

  1. Create the verification file for iOS and Android as described in the documentation you provided (https://reactnavigation.org/docs/deep-linking).
  2. Host the verification files on a server that you have access to. You can use a cloud hosting provider such as AWS or GCP to host the files.
  3. In your Shopify app, add a new page that will be used for the deep link. This page should contain the verification code that you created in step 1.
  4. Create a link that includes the URL of the new page that you created in step 3 and any parameters that you want to pass to the app.
  5. In your React Native app, configure the deep linking to listen for the URL that you created in step 4 and handle it accordingly.
