I'm trying to have my android app open any urls that are at ex. mysite.com/users/12345 with an activity called LinksActivity, then (for now) just log everything in the intent. Instead when I send the test URL via android studio or open the URL in the browser it just loads the 404 for that page.
I have added the .well-known/assetlinks.json file to my site, and I'm not certain I got the SHA keys right, but I don't think that's the issue since when I change the URL to some URL nobody owns, it doesn't work that way either. And it doesn't work on the debug or the release versions of the app.

I needed to make sure my debug key was added to my assetlinks.json, and enable autoVerify=true.
