What is AASA Bot?

AASA Bot is a specialized web crawler used by Apple to access and validate the Apple App Site Association (AASA) file hosted on websites. This file is essential for enabling Universal Links, which allow iOS apps to open specific URLs directly within the app instead of a browser. The bot checks for the presence and correctness of the AASA file to ensure that app-site associations are properly configured and secure. Website administrators may notice requests from 'aasa-bot' in their server logs, typically targeting the '/.well-known/apple-app-site-association' endpoint. The bot does not index content for search engines or perform general crawling; its sole purpose is to facilitate the secure linking between iOS apps and web domains as part of Apple's app ecosystem.
