Hi, thanks for trying the plugin and for reaching out.

There are two options for configuring the URL that will launch your instant app:

1. Developer specified URL: provide your own URL in the AndroidManifest and prove that you own the website
2. Automatic URL: do not specify a URL in the AndroidManifest

It sounds like you're trying to use the second approach. In this case you should remove the VIEW intent filter and "default-url" meta-data related to "https://instant.apps" from your AndroidManifest.

After you publish your app in Play Console, the URL https://instant.apps/your.package.name will automatically open your instant app. However, before you publish and while you're testing locally, the https://instant.apps URL will not open your instant app.

If you want to test your app prior to publishing, you can use the "Build and Run" feature of the plugin or you can directly run the command that it calls:

android-sdk/extras/google/instantapps/ia run instant-app.apk

Thank you for your help! I have another question "Build and Run" feature doesn't help me and I run
android-sdk/extras/google/instantapps/ia run instant-app.apk

So, instant-app.apk is a full release apk with instant app inside or just instant app module?

I'm sorry to hear that the "Build and Run" feature isn't working for you. Do you mind sharing the error message that it is printed to the Unity console log as well as the version of Unity that you're using?

Regarding instant app APKs/modules:

• An instant app and a full release app are both packaged in APKs.
• There is not much that is special/different about an instant app except some additional requirements for the manifest and for signing (the Unity plugin takes care of these requirements when building an instant app).
• A typical Unity instant app is only a single APK (you could think of it as a single module).
• In the example "instant-app.apk" is not a full release apk with instant app inside, it's just an Android app that was built with a couple minor changes to support instant. This APK can be run as an instant app using "ia run", or since it's just an APK, it can be installed and run as a regular app, i.e. "adb install instant-app.apk". Note: I mention this to hopefully clarify that it's just like a regular APK, not because this is typically done.
