Will deep link such as "amzn://..." open up the Amazon Underground app?

Hi, Suppose I have a deep link such as "amzn://apps/android?..." in one of my live apps. And some user of this app has replaced the Amazon Appstore app on his/her device with the Amazon Underground app. I wonder whether the deep link still works well. And will it directly open up the Amazon Underground app instead of the Amazon Appstore app? Thanks for your reply in advance.

Amazon Underground apps should have different package names to distinguish them from the non-Underground apps. You can determine which version of the application deep links should direct to by inserting the appropriate package name. Information about migrating apps to Underground can be found here: https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/underground/docs/migrating-your-app-to-amazon-underground.

Yes, I do know Amazon Underground apps have different package names to distinguish them from the non-Underground apps. And my apps are actually non-Underground apps. But as I know, non-Underground apps are also available on the Amazon Underground app. Suppose there are some deep links which are directly to an Amazon Apptore app, such as "amzn://apps/android?asin=ASIN_MY_APP". So, my question is, will clicking the deep links directly open the Amazon Underground app and show the app, ASIN_MY_APP, to end users?
