Getting Started with Dynamic Links on iOS - Pt.3: Creating links programmatically (Firecasts)

Firebase Dynamic Links are smart URLs that take the user to any location within your iOS or Android app, even if your user needs to install the app first. In this episode of Firecasts, Todd demonstrates the steps involved to programatically create Dynamic Links from within your iOS, to enable some exciting user-to-user sharing possibilities!

[@peterson5242]

What is a way to handle waiting for a user to login before doing something with query params?

[@peterson5242]

Ended up using NSUserDefaults. Thanks for the video btw :D cant believe I found your series few days after your upload.

[@MrQcomputing]

What if you don’t have a website. I just want to share app post(image and user) and have a dynamic link that opens the app or App Store

[@sahailee]

You don't need a website, for the host you can just put your blundle id like so
components.scheme = "https"
components.host = "com.example.exampleApp"
components.path = "/test"
Just make sure the URI prefix is the same as the one firebase gives you which should be
exampleapp.page.link

How to create it programmatically in android?How you forgot us?

[@nickstanislawski]

At the end of this video you edit a function in the app delegate to Handel incoming dynamic links. I do not see where you originally introduce this function. My dynamic link works I just cannot execute this function to bring users to a specific section of my app

[@devarajn5910]

You could do this in Appdelegate call back func application(_ application: UIApplication, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: @escaping ([UIUserActivityRestoring]?) -> Void) , or Scenedelegate callback func scene(_ scene: UIScene,
continue userActivity: NSUserActivity)

[@DuncanDay1990]

is MyRecipes another struct for user created recipes?

[@trevordevs]

On iOS 16.1, when sharing through iMessage the link breaks down into its components. With "copy" or notes, or sharing to airdrop (anything other than imessage) the short link works as desired. However, with iMessage it breaks down for some reaons. Has anyone else encountered this issue? It does not seem to be a Firebase issue

[@trevordevs]

*Only happens when using ShareLink wihtout preview. Setting a preview solves the issue

[@DuncanDay1990]

@@trevordevs ive hit an issue where without the preview, it doesn't work at all - gonna come back to this or just ditch overall and go with non Dynamic link

[@sahailee]

I'm handling the dynamic links in the same way as you are where I need to send the user to a view controller in the app that would have to load the data to present in this view controller from the database. But for some strange reason, the block to observe the values which I have placed in my code's version of your method for getRecipeForID(recipeID: String) is being completely skipped. I have print statements set up so that I know that I've entered the getRecipeForID method, but inside the observe block nothing is printed not even my error handling, and then I have a print statement outside of the observe block at the end of the method which prints out. I observe this location before too in another part of my code and it works there, but when I press the dynamic link and go from the app delegate to that VC, the observation block is skipped. Writing to the database is also skipped. Does anyone have any ideas that could help me?

[@sahailee]

I fixed my problem, it has to do with how firebase loads data asynchronously when in this instance I was trying to implement code as if it was synchronous.
Just posting this just in case someone else has the same problem.

[@klaussc6048]

This part is most important, most helpful for me but hard to find this video...T.T.
