my env: vite react web app.

vite config:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [react()],
build: {
sourcemap: true,
outDir: 'build',
},
publicDir: 'public',
})

I am trying to setup our web app to verify apple universal links for our mobile apps. But it's not working. when I test locally running vite build and then vite preview it shows the config file fine, but after running my build in railway the deployed version of the app shows a 404 page when I try visiting the path. The file is .well-known/apple-app-site-association which apple requires not to have a .json file name. This is a commonly needed feature. I would appreciate any feedback if anyone has had any experience configuring .well-known files with railway before. I can't give access to the repo but I can spin up a example one if need be to demonstrate the issue.
