The response of https://evrcare.co/.well-known/assetlinks.json is coming [] instead of valid json.
I've put the correct assetlinks.json file inside .well-known folder.
What happens now is that my TWA shows a url bar (which is not supposed to if response of https://evrcare.co/.well-known/assetlinks.json is correct json).
However, I can see complete json if I put assetlinks.json in some other folder than .well-known like : https://evrcare.co/well-known/assetlinks.json
So I looked over the internet and they suggested couple of ways, none of them worked. like:
1) Create another folder well-known and put assetlinks.json and then redirect:
firebase.json:
{
"source": "/.well-known/assetlinks.json",
"destination": "/well-known/assetlinks.json"
}
Didn't work. response: []
2) add header as application/json for **/.well-known/**
firebase.json:
"headers": [
{
"key": "Cache-Control",
"value": "no-store"
},
{
"key": "Expires",
"value": "0"
},
{
"key": "Pragma",
"value": "no-cache"
}
]
},
{
"source": "**/.well-known/**",
"headers": [
{
"key": "Content-Type",
"value": "application/json"
}
]
}
]
Didn't work. response []
3) add "appAssociation": "NONE" to firebase.json.
Didn't work. I get page not found.
4) add "dynamicLinks": true to "rewrites"
firebase.json:
"rewrites": [
{
"source": "/**",
"dynamicLinks": true
}
],
Didn't work. response: []
You can test https://evrcare.co/.well-known/assetlinks.json and https://evrcare.co/well-known/assetlinks.json with my current firebase.json config:

I followed https://appmaker.xyz/pwa-to-apk/ to create TWA and assetlinks.json file.
firebase-tools: 8.0.2
Platform: Windows
Example of a valid JSON: https://google.com/.well-known/assetlinks.json
Tools to verify linking:
I'm dumb. My build tool (jekyll) was ignoring folders which start with dot.
Had to add this to my _config.yml to make it work:
# Folders with dotfiles are ignored by default.
include: [.well-known]
