# How to Configure your Learndash Android App Links

# **Introduction**

Android App Links enable deep integration between your **Learndash App** and your website, allowing members to open specific URLs directly in the app rather than a browser. By configuring App Links, you’ll create a seamless mobile experience, improve engagement, and ensure links to your community content always open in the correct context.

## **Obtaining Your SHA-256 Certificate Fingerprint**

1. Log in to the [**Google Play Console**](https://play.google.com/console/developers/) with the account used for your Google Developer enrollment.
2. Under **All apps**, select your **App ID**.
3. In the **Release** tab, go to **Setup > App Integrity > App signing**.
4. Copy the **SHA-256 certificate fingerprint** for your App Signing Key. You’ll use this in the Leardash App settings.

## **Enabling Android App Links**

1. In WordPress, navigate to **Learndash App > Configure > Android Settings > Android App Links**.
2. Tick **Enable Android App Links**.

*Note:* Android does not support excluding individual URLs.

To verify if a valid JSON is served after enabling the Android App Links option, go to the following URL in your browser:  
  
{{your site url}}/.well-known/assetlinks.json/

Confirm the JSON includes an entry with your **SHA-256 certificate fingerprint** and package name.

Note: The file should list all App Signing keys you’ve added.

## **Troubleshooting and FAQs**

**Q: Links aren’t opening in the app, why?  
 A: Make sure you generated a new build and that assetlinks.json is accessible and not cached.

**Q: Getting a certificate mismatch error?  
 A: Double-check the SHA-256 from *App Signing*, not the upload key. It must match in both Android settings and assetlinks.json.

**Q: assetlinks.json not found (404)?  
 A: Ensure the file exists at /.well-known/, and your server or CDN allows access.

**Q: Can I disable App Links without a new build?  
 A: No. Disabling App Links requires saving the setting and creating a new build.
