Hi @arunpatidar ,

We have a file already with us. We need the steps to place it at server/dispatcher level at /.well-known folder as suggested on Apple documentation.

We are using AEMaaCS.

Anyone can help, please?

I am not sure If this is helpful or not but just to let you know in AEMaaCS, you can't do any changes manually. You have to deploy via code.

To deploy dispatcher changes there are set of rules, please check if those rules allow you to put this file in dispatcher, please go ahead

Right now, what we are planning to do is, We will place this file DAM and when a request comes to Dispatcher with https:// <domain>/.well-known/apple-app-site-association, we will redirect to DAM to fetch this file. Is this good approach? 

I need suggestion on this Community!

Creating technical file inside content area is always a risk. If someone has access they may delete this file.

But yes, you can go ahead with this approach, many use same approach to host robots.txt and other technical files.

You just need to write redirect rule at dispatcher.

For example rewrite rule for robots.txt

RewriteRule ^/robots.txt$ /content/dam/exampleco/robots.txt [NC,PT]
