I have integrated branch.io SDK for deep linking.

The flow of my deep linking is when I clicked on URL it will open my app if it's already installed in users phone else it will redirect to play store from their user can install the app.

This flow working perfectly if I browse link using chrome browser but if I use any other browser apps for browsing like UC, Opera or Samsung default browsers this flow is not working, either way, it's redirecting to play store.

Anyone have a solution for this please let me know!

Thanks for your help!

  • Tanmay, I believe you also sent in an email. Some default browsers are problematic -- if you send over your user agent string we can take a look (whatsmyuseragent.com). Regarding Opera, can you send us a link to the version you're using that doesn't work? Then we can test it and issue a patch if necessary – derrrick Nov 25 '15 at 23:18
  • Please post your code, otherwise it is very hard to help you... – severin Nov 27 '15 at 08:51
  • I'm using branch.io and is working fine for me, what you mean "browser link"? you click on the link inside this browser or you make your link open this browser? – Canato Jan 18 '18 at 04:22

On older Android devices there are known issues getting apps to open using URI Schemes and App Links. These issues are not limited to Branch links.

  • Where are these issues documented? Are there any fixes for this? I came across another dev that mentioned the same thing https://github.com/openid/AppAuth-Android/issues/223#issuecomment-299310394 – Etienne Lawlor Jan 12 '18 at 19:24
  • I am using Braze and under the hood they use sendgrid to send out emails. It looks like `digital asset links` files need to be set up. Can anyone confirm this? – Etienne Lawlor Jan 12 '18 at 21:13
  • Branch does support both Braze and SendGrid. Here are links to the docs: https://docs.branch.io/pages/emails/braze/ and https://docs.branch.io/pages/emails/sendgrid/. With regards to issues with the browsers on older Android devices, there is quite a bit of variance and not a lot of support. If you really need information on this you will need to approach the phone manufacturer. – dwestgate Jan 12 '18 at 21:23
  • Where do you get the SHA256 fingerprint of signing cert ? This needs to be added to the digital asset links file. – Etienne Lawlor Jan 12 '18 at 21:24
  • Here is a link to the App Links docs on Branch's site: https://docs.branch.io/pages/deep-linking/android-app-links. They do explain how to generate the SHA256 fingerprint. If you have difficulty, reach out to their support organization, which is very good: support@branch.io – dwestgate Jan 12 '18 at 21:29
