When clicking on a link in an email that is set up to work as a Universal Link for an iOS application then the link information is not being passed to the application. The application is launched but it is missing that information. In the example, make sure you have an email in the mail client with the link:

competitions.ergrace.com/123456

and then click on it after making sure the application is not already running.
