Getting started with Dynamic Links on iOS - Pt.2 (Firecasts)

So now that you know how to create dynamic links, we're going to show you how to do receive and interpret this dynamic link in your iOS project.

Super kickstart video for Dynamic Links on iOS, thanks!

[@RomanMedvid]

Excellent. Thanks for the great video

I'm trying to open the app from deeplink when the app is closed. It does open my app but open url methods are not called. What should I do here?

[@srstudios6374]

any chance of the RecipeRally project making it to github?

[@nigelpstreet]

Hi, I'd like to use a DynamicLink with an Enterprise distribution app, so it doesn't (can't) have even a placeholder App Store entry, and therefore no Apple ID - can I use an alternative to the Apple ID, or perhaps one borrowed from another app, like you suggest?

[@mohammedshraim6412]

better than Apple documentation :)
Thanks

It seems to have to write down the codes "continue activity" inside scene delegate, not app delegate if you use iOS above 13.

[@artuhrtsau8301]

I think it's func scene(_ scene: UIScene, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity) { } on sceneDelegate, I hope this reply could help other people who met same issue as I did.

Let's say your app is installed on your device already but it is not running in the background. If you now click the dynamic link, it will open your app, but application(_:continue userActivity:) does NOT get called. So how could you receive the dynamicLink URL in this scenario?

[@saeedurrehman7563]

@MB Falafel scene(_ scene: UIScene, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity) { }

[@manuelcubillo55]

I tried this and it opens the app, but it never hits the application(_ application: UIApplication, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: @escaping ([UIUserActivityRestoring]?) -> Void) app delegate method. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Has anyone else ran into this issue?

[@manuelcubillo55]

I ended up finding out why it wasn't being called in my case. I created a brand new Xcode 11 project which is using scenedelegate as well as appdelegate. Universal links calls this method func scene(_ scene: UIScene, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity) in the scenedelegate instead of the appdelegate. Full explanation here github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/3918

[@tapashm42]

@@manuelcubillo55 Can you please help me? I am facing one problem. It's working fine when the app is running and in the background. But when the app is installed but not launched at that time it's simply opening the app but not redirecting to the respective screen. Please help me to get out of this situation. Here is my code:
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any]) -> Bool {
return application(app, open: url,
sourceApplication: options[UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey.sourceApplication] as? String,
annotation: "")
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, open url: URL, sourceApplication: String?, annotation: Any) -> Bool {
if let dynamicLink = DynamicLinks.dynamicLinks().dynamicLink(fromCustomSchemeURL: url) {
if dynamicLink.matchType == .unique {
handleDynamicLink(dynamicLink)
}
return true
}
return false
}

It is not working when app preview page is disabled.

[@SveeNe1000]

Hello, have some questions. Here you "hardcoded" deep link parameters (hello=something, foo=something). But what if I need to send links to 100 people and I need these parameters to be unique for each person?

[@SanthoshThiyagarajanPage]

[@hugovangalen]

So... these links are not really Dynamic Links. The name is very confusing and misleading :-)
When setting them up in Firebase, they are basically "fixed" URLs. Any additional parameter=value in the URL is not passed-through to the app.
So it's impossible to use a unique link, say, for each user of your app without constructing such a "fixed" link via Firebase. So you need to manage thousands if not tens-of-thousands such URLs, a problem that would neatly be solved if these would be truly dynamic.

[@NesCroft]

thats where i'm stuck too. i need to send an event id with the link. any solutions besides creating a ton of these "dynamic" links?
