I think you need to add the isi parameter to your URL with the value set to your app's App Store ID.

You can read about all the parameters here

You can also use the Firebase Console to create Dynamic Links which can be simpler as it puts all the information into the link for you.

I already read it before and I think it come from firebase console, because the code is inside the app, and if the app still not installed or uninstalled, it will not trigger the code that I set inside the app. I think it come from unproperly set appID and teamID inside firebase console – Sarimin Jul 07 '18 at 02:38

You need to add the isi param to your URL AND you have to set properly the ID App Store field in the settings of your IOS project in the firebase console, then the dynamic link on IOS will know where to look and redirect on the app store following your app store ID.

Your App Store ID is your app Apple ID and you can find it in the appstore connect page in your App information section.

I was facing same issue when I was using REST Api call

POST https://firebasedynamiclinks.googleapis.com/v1/shortLinks?key=api_key

Reference : https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/rest#create_a_short_link_from_parameters

I added iosAppStoreId in request payload to make it working.

Sample request payload will be now as below.

{
    "dynamicLinkInfo": {
        "domainUriPrefix": "https://test.page.link", // YOUR DOMAIN LINK
        "link": "https://post.test.com/12345", // YOUR DEEPLINK
        "androidInfo": {
            "androidPackageName": "com.test.app" // YOUR ANDROID PACKAGE ID
        },
        "iosInfo": {
            "iosBundleId": "com.test.app", // YOUR IOS BUNDLE ID
            "iosAppStoreId": "1906676749" // YOUR IOS APP STORE ID
        }
    }
}

You also need to add the Apple Store id to your firebase project for your iOS app — Africanfruit, Aug 20 '23 at 14:07
