title: MobilePlatformApplication - GraphQL Admin
description: >-
  You can use the `MobilePlatformApplication` resource to enable

  [shared web
  credentials](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/shared_web_credentials)
  for Shopify iOS apps,

  as well as to create [iOS universal
  link](https://developer.apple.com/ios/universal-links/)

  or [Android app link](https://developer.android.com/training/app-links/)
  verification endpoints for merchant Shopify iOS or Android apps.

  Shared web credentials let iOS users access a native app after logging into
  the respective website in Safari without re-entering

  their username and password. If a user changes their credentials in the app,
  then those changes are reflected in Safari.

  You must use a custom domain to integrate shared web credentials with Shopify.
  With each platform's link system,

  users can tap a link to a shop's website and get seamlessly redirected to a
  merchant's installed app without going

  through a browser or manually selecting an app.


  For full configuration instructions on iOS shared web credentials,

  see the [associated domains
  setup](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/password_autofill/setting_up_an_app_s_associated_domains)
  technical documentation.


  For full configuration instructions on iOS universal links or Android App
  Links,

  see the respective [iOS universal
  link](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/core_app/allowing_apps_and_websites_to_link_to_your_content)
