Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method performed by data processing apparatus comprising one or more computers in data communication, the method comprising: receiving a first set of deep links specified for a native application, each deep link specifying a particular environment instance of the native application and configured to cause the native application to instantiate an instance of the specified native application, and wherein the native application is an application operable to generate environment instances for display within the native application on a user device, the native application operating independent of a browser application that can operate on the user device; for each deep link in the first set, verifying, by the data processing apparatus, whether the deep link specified for the native application of a first version level causes the native application of the first version level to correctly instantiate the environment instance specified by the deep link; for only each deep link that is verified to cause the native application of the first version level to correctly instantiate the environment instance specified by the deep link, generating verification data that specifies that deep link is verified for the first version level of the native application; storing the verification data and the deep link in an index of deep links; receiving selections of deep links to be served to user devices within which the native application is installed, each selection for a corresponding user device; for each selection:
