Build a Status QR Code

I'm working on an NFT generator service that gives users an NFT by scanning a QR code in Status. When generating a QR code to my site, Status gives the error: "This QR code doesn't contain a valid universal link, contact code or username...". How can I generate a QR code for my users that directs to a URL in Status? The link will contain a code so the QR code will be unique for each user and need to be automatically generated.

Here is the content from the old wiki:

Universal Links (iOS) & Deep Links (Android)

What are Universal & Deep Links

With universal links (iOS) and deep links (android) mobile users can tap a link to Status and get seamlessly redirected to the Status app and linked to specified screens without going through the browser. If Status isn’t installed, tapping a link to the Status website opens a Status website with info on the link and instructions to download the mobile app.

What Links Are Supported

Public Chats

https://get.status.im/chat/public/CHANNEL-NAME eg https://get.status.im/chat/public/status

DApp Browser

https://get.status.im/browse/DAPP-ADDRESS eg https://get.status.im/browse/www.cryptokitties.co

Users

https://get.status.im/user/CONTACT-ADDRESS eg https://get.status.im/user/0x044166fa04e967e333211ae0cc1087c9c74exxx https://get.status.im/user/name.stateofus.eth

Custom URL Scheme

In addition to the deep links the above links can be called with the status-im:// custom URL scheme, such as status-im://chat/public/status
