On native, you can use the [`uri-scheme`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/uri-scheme) CLI to test opening native links on a device.
For example, if you want to launch the Expo Go app on iOS to the `/form-sheet` route, run:
> Replace `192.168.87.39:19000` with the IP address shown when running `npx expo start`.
You can also search for links directly in a browser like Safari or Chrome to test deep linking on physical devices. Learn more about [testing deep links](https://reactnavigation.org/docs/deep-linking).
## Sitemap
Expo Router currently injects a **/\_sitemap** automatically that provides a list of all routes in the app. This is useful for debugging.
In SDK 52 and above, the sitemap can be removed by adding `sitemap: false` to the `expo-router` config plugin in the app config:
```json app.json
{
"plugins": [
[
"expo-router",
{
/* @info Disable the sitemap generation. */
"sitemap": false
/* @end */
}
]
]
}
```
In SDK 51 and below, the sitemap can be removed by creating an empty **\_sitemap** file inside the **app** directory:
```tsx app/_sitemap.tsx
return null;
}
```
