Link format
Create a link with the following format:
wire://access/?config={JSON-URL}
where {JSON URL} is the URL of a JSON file that will describe how to connect to your backend, for example, https://my-backend.my-company.com/config.json.
This can be hosted anywhere accessible to the device opening the link: the app will download it to discover how to connect to the backend.
The wire://access?... link needs to be open on the mobile device (for example, send it by email, embed it on a webpage).
