• this crash doesn't happen anymore until the app is reinstalled and started for the first time

An alternative package from nativescript-community doesn't crash the app but it gets a link //google/link/?request_ip_version=IP_V4&match_message=No pre-install link matched for this device on the first start after the fresh install.

I believe the app considers the content of pasteboard as a dynamic link, tries to process it, and crashes.

I don't mind getting //google/link/?... URL on first app start but the app shouldn't crash

Thanks will check this out

That's the problem I tried to describe in discord, I fixed duplicating the code inside the function is trying to call

@triniwiz , it's still happening, the app is crashing with the same error on app start after a fresh install. The only difference is that now I don't see the Pasted from CoreSimulator notification before the app crashes.

What's interesting is if I import import { registerUniversalLinkCallback } from "@nativescript-community/universal-links"; after import '@nativescript/firebase-dynamic-links' the app doesn't crash. But

firebase().dynamicLinks().onLink((link) => {})

works as expected

@VepretskiyD Hello, could you maybe show exactly how you fixed it. Because mine keeps crashing on a fresh install.

This shouldn't be an issue with v2.3+
