🐛 [firebase_dynamic_links] onLink does not trigger on iOS

[ivanesi]

Bug report

I am trying to implement Firebase Dynamic links in a flutter app. When I click on the link it opens the app but onLink listener doesn't work.

• onLink listener works perfect on Android.

• I'm using real iOS device. Tested both debug and release mode.

• https://link.custom.domain/apple-app-site-association passed.

I reconfigured step by step according to FlutterFire:

• Info.plist is set via Xcode:

...
<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
<string>com.appName.app</string> // correct bundleId
<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
    <array>
	<string>com.appName.app</string> // correct bundleId
    </array>

...

<key>FirebaseDynamicLinksCustomDomains</key>
    <array>
        <string>https://link.leclick.ru</string>
   </array>

-Runner.entitlements is set via Xcode:

...
        <key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key>
	<array>
		<string>applinks:link.custom.domain</string> //correct custom domain
		<string>applinks:app.page.link</string> // correct link
	</array>
	<key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key>
	<array>
                 <string>group.cloud.Mindbox.ru.leclick.application</string>
	</array>
...

Firebase is correctly initialized in my app as I'm using other services.

• Run flutterfire configure

• Run app:

WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
await Firebase.initializeApp(
  options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform,
);
FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.onLink.listen(print, onError: print);

FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.app.options has apiKey , appId, projectId , ios, iosBundleId, iosClientId, some other props, but deepLinkURLScheme is null.

• Run app, collapse, tap correct dynamic link, see logs:

10.3.0 - [FirebaseAnalytics][I-ACS023007] Analytics v.10.3.0 started
10.3.0 - [FirebaseAnalytics][I-ACS023001] Deep Link does not contain valid required params. URL params: {
    "match_message" = "No pre-install link matched for this device.";
    "request_ip_version" = "IP_V6";
}
...
flutter: MyAppState - didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState.inactive)
flutter: MyAppState - didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState.resumed)

Nothing happened.

Handling initial link also doesn't work. Tested on real device in release build mode.

If I tried workaround with app_links package:

import 'package:app_links/app_links.dart';
...
@override
void initState() {

     final _appLinks = AppLinks();

    _appLinks.allUriLinkStream.listen((uri) {
      _logger.debug('_appLinks uri $uri');
    });
...

App resumed, but listener not triggers. What could this mean?

• https://link.custom.domain/apple-app-site-association passed.
• <key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key> is set

@ivanesi
Can you try without custom domain ? There have been recent reports about links not working with custom domain.

Hey @ivanesi. We need more information to resolve this issue but there hasn't been an update in 7 weekdays. I'm marking the issue as stale and if there are no new updates in the next 7 days I will close it automatically.

If you have more information that will help us get to the bottom of this, just add a comment!
