I read up on all the posts I could find and am still getting a nil URL when launching the app for the first time after tapping a dynamic link pasted into the Notes app on iOS. Actually I followed the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFPo296OQqk
Universal Links work fine and as expected through application(_:continue:restorationHandler:).
When coming through application(_:open:options:) (formerly application:openURL:options:) however, the URL comes in as <my-scheme-name>://google/link/?is_weak_match=1. No matter how I configure my project/app, the URL is always nil. Also, application(_:open:options:) is called on every first launch of the app regardless of whether a dynamic link was tapped before the app was installed or not. Is that to be expected?
Configuration:
- apple-app-site-association file is set up and looks good for Universal Links.
- Custom URL scheme set up in Info.plist.
- Using latest GoogleService-Info.plist
- Not in Safari 'Private' Mode
