I had already connected the free custom page.link subdomain and this works great and as expected. It opens my app and redirects users to the specific pages. However, I recently got a custom domain from google domains and wanted to connect it. the domain is https://gifte.app
I connected it to my projects associated domains : applinks:gifte.app and another link : applinks:gifte.app/applinks
In the firebase console I also added https://gifte.app and added https://gifte.app/applinks
when adding the first one, it told me to add some lines to the DNS settings which I did. And when adding this one https://gifte.app/applinks firebase told me to add
"appAssociation": "AUTO",
"rewrites": [ { "source": "/applink/**", "dynamicLinks": true } ]
to firebase.json which I added and is in my project directory.
when creating a dynamic link. I used
DynamicLinkComponents.init(link: linkParameter, domainURIPrefix: "https://gifte.app/applinks")
and created the link the way shown in the firebase tutorial videos. Running the project and trying to create the dynamic link. I get this error
Error Domain=com.firebase.durabledeeplink Code=0 "Your project does not own Dynamic Links domain: https://gifte.app
however when using https://gifte.page.link I do not get the error and it works fine.
When using https://gifte.app instead as the domainURIPrefix, the dynamic link is generated. however when it is clicked in the notes app. It doesnt redirect to the app. It instead redirects me to a 404 ERROR
This file does not exist and there was no index.html found in the current directory or 404.html in the root directory.
Why am I seeing this? You may have deployed the wrong directory for your application. Check your firebase.json and make sure the public directory is pointing to a directory that contains an index.html file.
You can also add a 404.html in the root of your site to replace this page with a custom error page
In summary of creating the links
- https://gifte.page.link as domainURIPrefix works
- https://gifte.app as domainURIPrefix creates url but doesn't redirect to app when clicked in notes. Instead to firebase error screen
- https://gifte.app/applinks as domainURIPrefix does not work and gives error in app
So my question is, how can I get the custom dynamic links working the same as the free page.link subdomain? I don't get why adding the custom domain has caused so many problems and why using https://gifte.app/applinks gives an error saying that I do not own the domain.
my firebase.json file
{
"functions": {
"predeploy": [
"npm --prefix \"$RESOURCE_DIR\" run lint"
],
"source": "functions"
},
"hosting": {
"public": "public",
"ignore": [
"firebase.json",
"**/.*",
"**/node_modules/**"
],
"appAssociation": "AUTO",
"rewrites": [ { "source": "/applink/**", "dynamicLinks": true } ]
}
}
Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.
