Step 1: Enable Deep Linking in Your App
To allow the Alexa app to request authorization from your user, you must enable Universal Links for your iOS app or App Links for your Android app. Universal Links (iOS) and App Links (Android) allow the Alexa app to open your app directly by using a URL, bypassing the browser and providing a seamless transition between apps. These deep-link-enabled URIs are the authorization endpoint for the app-to-app flow and are separate from the web authorization URI that you configure for the standard browser-based account linking flow.
Tip: To receive Works with Alexa (WWA) certification, your app must support both iOS and Android and be available in the iOS and Android app stores.
