Summary:
The new “universal links” system allows applications to specify “associated domains,” domains whose links the application can intercept. These domains look as follows; please note that a separate entry is required for each specific subdomain:

applinks:service-now.com
applinks:www.service-now.com

ServiceNow uses a different subdomain for each customer’s instance, e.g. my team instance can be found at “http://hello.service-now.com”

In order to open blogs links in the native ServiceNow app, we would need to be able to specify a wildcarded associated domain as follows:

applinks:*.service-now.com

Steps to Reproduce:
Try using an asterisk to specify a wildcarded associated domain (e.g. “*.service-now.com”) for universal links.

Expected Results:
Links to any subdomain under the domain (e.g. “hello.service-now.com”) would be routed to the third-party application.

Actual Results:
Links to subdomains open in Safari.
