# iOS Universal Link

With iOS 17.4 and above, Apple has introduced the ability for users to install their eSIM directly onto their devices by clicking a simple link.\
\
The[ Universal Link](https://developer.apple.com/ios/universal-links/) installation method works by appending the unique SMDP+ address and Activation Code as parameters to the universal link URL, which can be tied to a button in your application.\
\
The universal link would look as follows:

| URL                                                                  | Activation code                         | Android Universal Link                                                                                        |

Important Notes for Implementation:

1. URL Casing: The base URL should always be in lowercase to ensure compatibility and avoid errors in processing.
2. Activation Code: The Activation Code may contain capital letters and should be entered strictly as provided.
3. External Link Configuration: If integrating this link within an app, configure it to open externally. This ensures that the device’s browser handles the activation, adhering to Apple’s setup protocols.
