Open a link in one tap
Quick open takes any URL with a scheme, such as harbourline://orders/42 or an https link. TestDock hands it to iOS, and the link appears under Recent, which keeps the last five links of each profile. The URL schemes you open are added to the profile, so the app name is all a new profile needs.
A green check means iOS accepted the link. iOS does not tell TestDock which screen opened, so check that in your app. If no app on the iPhone handles the scheme, TestDock shows No app on this device handles this URL. straight away, which catches a mistyped scheme.

Paste a whole list of links
Copy text that contains several links, such as a ticket or a release checklist, and paste it into Quick open. TestDock finds every link in the text and shows how many it found; Save all keeps them as saved links named after their path, and skips links that are already saved.
Each saved link has a play button that opens it again, so the same set of links can be checked after every new build.

Links with a part that changes
Write the changing part in double braces, for example harbourline://orders/{{orderNumber}}. When you open the link, TestDock asks for the value, inserts it URL-encoded, and opens the final URL. Default values can be saved with the link, and favorites and tags keep a long list manageable.
Every saved link keeps a list of recent opens with the time and whether iOS accepted it.

Universal links
Universal links (https) open the same way. For each one, TestDock lists what iOS needs for a universal link: the Associated Domains entitlement, the apple-app-site-association file, the application identifier, a matching path, and the app installed. The list is a reminder; TestDock does not verify these.
With TestDock Pro, Verify universal / app links inspects a domain's apple-app-site-association file and can save the paths it declares as links.

Your links stay on the iPhone
App profiles, links, and open history are stored on the device. TestDock has no account, telemetry, analytics, or sync, and no AI is involved. TestDock is also available for Android, where it opens custom schemes and app links on the phone in the same way.
