Reproduce the issue in the Reddit iOS app version 2025.48.0.616816 using the example developers.reddit.com/r/SubredditName/apps/app-name link and confirm where it redirects. Done means app-settings links from Mod Tools app menus open the developer site destination instead of the main subreddit page.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

On the Reddit app for iOS, links to app settings (e.g. https://developers.reddit.com/r/SubredditName/apps/app-name) do not open as expected. They simply redirect to the main subreddit page. The Reddit app appears to be parsing these links as regular Reddit links, not as proper developer site links.

This hurts functionality for Mod Tools apps, such as links to the app settings from a menu item at subreddit level.

Quick edit: Reddit app version is: 2025.48.0.616816 (AppStore)
