Does launching app for an http link on Windows 10 require server-side changes?
<p>I followed the guide <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/launch-resume/web-to-app-linking" rel="nofollow">HERE</a> to link my app to an https URI. It works perfectly fine during testing, for both Debug and Release versions: when I click a hyperlink for the website, the app is launched instead of Edge. The OnActivated event is triggered and the app goes to the desired page, all well and good. </p>

<p>Keep in mind, I'm not using the LaunchUriAsync technique that opens the link only if the app is in foreground.</p>

<p>But when I uploaded the app to the store and downloaded it on the same device I was testing on, the app is not launched. Instead, the webpage opens in Edge. Why is this happening? Is it really mandatory to do some server-side changes to make this work? I'm afraid I don't have access to that, as my app is a third party alternative.</p>

<p>Can someone informed on this topic tell me how I can go about this?</p>

<p>Also, the app does show up under the "Apps for websites" section in Settings -> System when installed through the Store.</p>
