React-native-firebase: On iOS, Dynamic Link only work on simulator not on real device.

[jeonghoonkim]

Issue

1. Create dynamic link on Firebase console: https://abc.page.link
2. Set Associated Domains: applinks:abc.page.link
3. Put "Info > URL Types > identifier and URL Schemes" : abc.page.link
4. [FIROptions defaultOptions].deepLinkURLScheme = @"abc.page.link";

After then, create link with following method

// link: is DynamicLink instance
const dynamiclink = await firebase.links().createDynamicLink(link); 

• When I put this dynamiclink to safari on simulator, works fine but not work on real device.
• On real device, it always open App Store even if app already installed.
• On real device, if I put the link Chrome app, it works fine.

on Android works fine.

I'm also facing the same issue. It works on the simulator but no real device it shows Dynamic link not found.

Anyone can help?

This is still an issue. Root link navigates to app on simulator but opens safari with the Invalid Dynamic Link page on a real device

Did someone solved this behaviour?

Did someone solved this behaviour?

Honestly, I’m not sure. It was not working properly with the subdomain link Firebase provides, as soon as I changed it to my custom domain, it began working fine

Can you please share your AppDelegate.m file? Are you using react-native-firebase >= v6? @tapizquent
