Getting started with Firebase Dynamic Links on iOS - Pt.1 (Firecasts)

[@burtonmiller]

Dynamic links are an overcomplicate mess. But your video was EXCELLENT at explaining all then nuances. Bravo, my man!

[@CedricSoubrie]

Reinstalling et relaunching the iPhone did the trick for me. Thanks a lot for those "how to debug" tips 🙏

[@Firebase]

Great to hear!

[@arnidexian5834]

really helpful and much more clear than firebase docs 👍🏻

[@Firebase]

Glad it helped!

[@imrupom]

Amazing! Short and Precise!

[@Firebase]

Glad you think so!

[@mmazurovsky_r]

This video should be referenced in the firebase dynamic links section of the firebase website in a visible place. Was unable to make my dynamic link working until I saw the video

[@nigelpstreet]

Really helpful and well presented vid. Appreciate how Todd just gets on with it.

[@aikidrax]

Useful debug tip: Add ?mode=developer while debugging, force apple to fetch associated file more often, and from your device (instead of Apple CDN)

[@AbabeelEntertainment]

Omg, u remind me so much of Robin Williams, both amazing btw!

[@МихаилМатяцко]

Actually, best dynamic links guide. xD Who would expect?) But seriously, Thanks. I was struggling with setting this up for 3 days. Just could not understand why safari do not recognize my app.

[@phuongnguyen-lr3cv]

Thanks, very clear and percise

[@Firebase]

We're delighted to hear that the tutorial was helpful, Phương 🙌

[@lucye7320]

Awesome lesson, thanks Todd! On to the next!

[@Frank_van_Puffelen]

Thanks Lucy. Hope you're doing well!

[@AIMBOT_OFFICIAL]

Really awesome ❤️

Thanks 🤗

Saved my precious time. thanks Sir

[@rajlakshmipandey2026]

I am getting 'Invalid Dynamic link' everytime i click on the link recieved via email. How can I get rid of it. please help

[@mrstudioguitar2808]

This video is REALLY good

[@ConcreteArchitect]

I changed the bundle ID by creating a new app and the dynamic link doesn't work for the new bundle Id in the latest iOS 13 on March 19, 2020. The fix was to delete the app, turn the device off, turn the device on, and reinstall the app to fix just like what Todd said. Thank you so much for the thorough video.

[@Yトーマ]

Thanks for this tutorial. While just after tapping my dynamic link via note app on my iPhone, safari shows "Invalid Link" but after cleaning up and rebuilding Xcode, and delete app from my iPhone and restart, it went well.

[@skidoslearning]

Thanks Todd!

[@tapizquent]

HELP! I have tried setting this up but for some reason it always redirects me to Safari with Invalid Deep Link page. I have followed this exactly (even though some things in this video are outdated). The recommendations Todd made did not work, and holding link to "Open in App" is no longer possible in iOS. Anything else I need to setup for it to work in iOS?. PS. It does work fine in the simulator but not in a real device

[@michaelcaulley1302]

If you uninstall the app and reinstall it does the same thing happen?

[@오뎅킬러-y4h]

@@michaelcaulley1302 i did everything as todd said and dynamic link open Invalid Dynamic LInk (Requested URL must be a parsable and blah blah blah). i double checked all the configuration And removed the app, restart device, clean build folder reinstall the app and Still NOT WORKING!!. Really really frustrating situation here

[@오뎅킬러-y4h]

everybody build by release mode thats the answer

[@AlekKreimer]

Well, first of all use next code: DynamicLinks.performDiagnostics(completion: nil) to check errors in console (if any) I had error: Info.plist do not contain such scheme in CFBundleURLTypes key. So I've added URL type as in 6:55 and It's working!

[@priyankasuryawanshi4789]

you saved my lot of time.Thanks

[@dexkode5558]

very helpful , thank you

[@carlosmoliveira]

Best explanation so far. There isn't a way to test on a simulator?

[@BINUKA]

google is shutting down the dynamic link service

[@bartekpa]

I want that cool lid graphics too!

[@FedericoMorenoCh]

Could you make a video to implement it with IONIC (cordova), pls?

[@Tristan-zr6gf]

Really well done!! May I ask, how do you enable users to post a link on their personal profile of your app, in order for other users to click on it and get redirected to i.e. their linkedIn page or, insta... Help appreciated ⭐️🙏

[@mobilemon5032]

Great video! How will it handle the Android case where Google Play is not installed? For instance, on Amazon devices. Is there support for redirecting to the Amazon app store?

[@snehalmundada9081]

Hi, i created dynamic link successfully and it's working fine, now I want to navigate to different screen of app by using dynamic links how can i do this?

[@jaymondrichardson4873]

I've been trying to figure this out for about 6 hours.. Please help!

[@TylerMatthewHarris]

Freaking awesome

[@kietskeeb]

Is there an alternative in AWS?

[@benjaminronns]

Why not do a video for android also

[@vladkolomiets7343]

How I can handle the long link to get utm params inside my a ios app?

[@humbervalleysharksAA2010]

Does it work with redirected links?

[@nfhipona]

Does not work now on a terminated/killed app state, I was not able to get the data on the links. however, it is still launching the app. Tested on iOS 14

[@paulpoyyayil]

When i open my website, it shows 'App installed' and 'Open', but doesnt open the app automatically. Any idea why? Help appreciated.

[@patheally]

Can you create dynamic values in your parameters? I send dynamic links in emails to users that contain dynamic values.

[@filmylocks4950]

I have deep link url - that always opens Apple store even if app is installed by using safari browser Any Suggestions ? As per the video , I verified my configuration , all looks good. and long press is not Available in IOS 15. It works good with Google chrome.

[@creatorkannan675]

Hi firebase team I want to know can I import and export bulk link to the firebase dynamic link

[@mcaghouse]

7:42 when ever i click on the link it open for me safari always asking for Open this page in "App Store"?. The app is already installed but the link is not opening the app. I followed the same steps.

[@roger77622]

I have the same problem...

[@drinkitapp8121]

I had the same problem. My device was in airplane mode. As soon as I connected it to WiFi it worked

[@sohaibsdq4280]

remove the app, hard restart device, clean Xcode build folder and install again. it's worked.

[@anthonywhitford5666]

@@sohaibsdq4280 This worked for me once, but now I'm stuck again as links keep going to Safari. 😩

How to get query parameters from dynamic link (not included deep link)?

[@araqich-salesandsupplymana4952]

Hello how to get back archived dynamic links?

[@snehalmundada9081]

Hi, I implemented dynamic links for ios and Android both when I click on link it navigates to Browser first and then redirect to app if it is installed otherwise it goes to play store or app store. Is there any way to hide browser redirection?

[@eliasb3857]

so if I don't have an apple developer account I cannot test or use dynamiclinks?

[@jandrinux]

sorry but you must have an apple developer account, for work with dynamic links :(

[@markusgattol]

So, say if I've a PWA that users use on desktop and mobile, then I don't need to concern myself with dynamic links at all right?

[@abhishekanand7088]

No u don't. This is usually for Native Apps

[@emiliomaciel5479]

It does not work with flutter. Firebase analytics gets the deep link before you can get it. When you ask for a deep link, it is null

[@JonasNolte]

If you don't get it to work. Try go to to device Settings > Developer > Associated Domains Development must be checked true. I sometimes also add applinks.?mode=developer

[@elherediaenc]

This is a dumb question but, do I need an URL domain to use deep links? I'm creating a mobile app and I want to put links on my IG posts for customers to click on them and then redirect them to my app. Is that possible?

[@SumitChandelatGoogle]

Yes, that is possible. You don't need to have your own domain to use Firebase Dynamic Links since Firebase will provide you with a .page.link domain which can be used to host the dynamic links. The deep link contained in the Dynamic Link itself could be your app package name, for example, rather than a URL to a web domain. Hope that helps!

[@developerlzaz4824]

Help : I need to redirect on testFlight, But it redirects to page of deeplink url

[@madhurmohta8944]

Same for me. Is it something related to Testflight only. If I push to store will it work ?

[@rogerpinto4]

The app wasn't triggered, I've solve it uninstalling the app -> Turn off device -> Turn on -> Install again. So weird..

[@nanshan5272]

Nvm, just found out the app prefix is the team id, now everything works.

[@petersuwara5432]

Doesn't work. The app isn't opened after selecting the link, it just comes up with a firebase 404 error in Safari.

[@sohaibsdq4280]

remove the app, hard restart device, clean Xcode build folder and install again. it's worked.

[@jeff77731]

I follow the steps in XCode 10 and iOS12, but when I click the link, it opened safari and show 400. What mistake did i make?

[@adrianegea7395]

Same problem for me, any idea?

[@adrianegea7395]

I have tested and for me is working in iOS 11 but it is not working in iOS12.

Firebase Dynamic Links are deprecated. Now what?

[@binhonglin4200]

Still doesn't work 2 years later.

[@sonicCat]

These links are banned by Facebook. Guys, please do sth with that

[@sonicCat]

Hm, I see this error: "Posts that look like spam according to our Community Guidelines are blocked on Facebook and can't be edited." if I post a link. I created an issue 116693455 on Sep 26 in the Android Issue Tracker. It's called "Firebase Dynamic Links are blocked on Facebook". There you can find more info. Thanks.

On stackoverflow dot com there is a discussion "Firebase Dynamic Links Considered as spam only on Facebook and Facebook is not showing the meta data Preview"

I believe that only work in physics devices

[@JayPerf]

When I select my iOS app in the section "Open the deep link in your iOS App", firebase does not prompt me for what to do if the app is not installed, and when I hit next, it forces me to choose "Open the deep link URL in a browser" - i have been stumped by this, please help - my team ID is set, applinks enabled, i cant figure it out
