🐛 [firebase_dynamic_links] Dynamic Link is not called on iOS

[coder-Aayush]

Bug report

Describe the bug
Hello, I am implementing Firebase Dynamic Link in my Flutter Application. Everything is working as expected on android but on iOS, dynamic link is not getting triggered in both the event [App Opened, App Closed]

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Generate Dynamic Link From Firebase Console.
2. Added domain in Associated Domains. 3.
3. Run the app, app launch [App Opened, App Closed] when clicking on link.4.
4. onLink and getInitialLink doesn't execute.5.

Expected behavior

while tapping on url, onLink(while app is open) it should triggered and getInitialLink should be triggered.

Sample project

Providing a minimal example project which demonstrates the bug in isolation from your main App greatly enhances the chance of a timely fix.
Please link to the public repository URL.

@override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    init();
  }

  init() async {
    final url = await FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink();
    if (url != null) {
      //  custom function
      print(url);
    }
    FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.onLink.listen((event) {
      // custom function
      print(event);
    });
  }

I tried the plugin's example on iOS device in debug and release mode and confirmed that the link is working as expected, ie, when app is open and click on dynamic link from Notes app, it takes us to the desired screen in the app.
When app is terminated and click on dynamic link from same app, it takes us to the desired screen in the app (verified this in release mode).

Can you try the same plugin example and see if you still get same behavior using it ?
Also, it seems you are hitting #9110 , so can you check the same, underlying comments and see if it helps ? If that's same issue as yours, we can follow-up in that issue and close this.

I have same issue.
Although Associated Domains & FirebaseDynamicLinksCustomDomains key in info.plist is configured base on Documents.
And run on release mode.
Im dev in Flutter 3.3.2 and IOS 15.7 device.

Hey @coder-Aayush. 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!

Please provide more details of the issue that will help us to properly address it, like, logs showings methods are not being triggered, a short video showing the behavior and so on.
