Firebase Dynamic Link doesn't redirect to the app when open through Safari

Question

I have added Firebase Dynamic Link in my app, when I open in iPhone link through Google Chrome, it redirects me to the app, but when I'm trying to open app through Safari (I'm opening links through the Notes, not directly from the Safari), it doesn't open the app.

I'm testing on real device, not in simulator.

I have followed official Firebase Dynamic Links Tutorial.

What can be wrong and how is possible to fix that?

have you set url scheme? and are you receiving callback in you appDelegate class method name "openURL"?. — MRizwan33, Feb 28 '18 at 13:38
I have set URL Scheme, I don’t receive anything in the callback because app hasn’t been invoked when open through Safari — Lucky_girl, Feb 28 '18 at 13:57
okay, do you have idea of Chrome uses URI schemes, Safari defaults to Universal links? — MRizwan33, Feb 28 '18 at 14:02
I have enabled Associated domains in Capabilties tab in Xcode and also have added in Info Tab new URL Scheme — Lucky_girl, Feb 28 '18 at 14:10

My problem was that in Xcode in Capabilities Tab in Associated Domains, in Domains field, I wrote wrong domain, instead of appplinks:app_id.app.goo.gl I wrote: appplinks:app_id.goo.gl, so i missed .app, after app_id, after changing it, it starts work correctly!

according to firebase official doc, we should set the value in associated domains like this applinks:your_subdomain.page.link Could you please let me know what app_id and app as an example – Fakhruddin Abdi Aug 28 '18 at 15:37

add applinks:appName.page.link to associated domain in xcode

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_associated-domains you can't open your app through safari , you can open it only by clicking on the link or scanning it(QR) using iPhone camera

I do have this added and I am not typing URL in safari but rather adding it to the notes and clicking on the link from there, and still it only opens it in safari and not in the app. It does work fine in the simulator, though, so I am lost. Any idea ? – tapizquent Apr 07 '20 at 15:19

One thing we discovered while trying to implement Firebase Dynamic Linking in our app was that the Apple App Association File had to be in the .well_known directory on the web server. Apple's app association documentation states the association file can be in either the root or .well_known:

Place this file either in your site’s .well-known directory, or directly in its root directory.

Setting Up an App's Association File

However, in looking at the web server logs when performing a fresh install of the app on a device, we saw calls being made to the .well_known directory. Once we copied the association file to the .well_known directory, Firebase Dynamic Linking worked as expected.
