I need to implement universal links in my Flutter application. I got everything to work on Android using the uni_links Flutter library, but on iOS I am facing some issues.
I followed these steps:
- Added Associated Domain Entitlement to provisioning profile in my Apple Developer Account
- Added domain to Associated Domains in Xcode capabilities tab
- Copied the Runner.entitlements file to my Flutter project
- Added host file to the associated domain (https:///.well-known/apple-app-site-association)
- Added CFBundleURLTypes to Info.Plist file
After following the steps I succeeded to run the iOS app locally in Xcode and the universal link seems to work. However, after deploying the iOS app works but clicking on a link opens the website and not our application. We are using Azure DevOps pipelines to publish our apps to MS App Center and eventually Testflight.
I believe that somehow the generated IPA does not contain the correct entitlements. Can someone help to fix our issue? Thank you in advance!

Our podfile:

# CocoaPods analytics sends network stats synchronously affecting flutter build latency.
ENV['COCOAPODS_DISABLE_STATS'] = 'true'
project 'Runner', {

'Profile' => :release,
'Release' => :release,
}
def flutter_root
generated_xcode_build_settings_path = File.expand_path(File.join('..', 'Flutter', 'Generated.xcconfig'), __FILE__)
unless File.exist?(generated_xcode_build_settings_path)
raise "#{generated_xcode_build_settings_path} must exist. If you're running pod install manually, make sure flutter pub get is executed first"
end
File.foreach(generated_xcode_build_settings_path) do |line|

end
endUPDATE: It seems to be an issue in the Azure Pipeline (XCode successfully archived my project and I submitted the IPA to Testflight). I am now trying to archive an IPA in Azure DevOps by command line:
git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git -b stable export PATH=$(build.sourcesdirectory)/[project\/flutter/bin:$PATH
echo "uninstalling all cocoapods versions"
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods -ax
echo "installing cocoapods version latest"
sudo gem install cocoapods --pre
echo "pod files"
flutter precache --ios
cd ios/
pod install --repo-update
cd ../ flutter
pub get
flutter build ios --no-codesign --build-name=$(build.buildNumber) --build-number=$(build.buildNumber) --verbose --no-sound-null-safety
xcodebuild -sdk iphoneos -configuration release -workspace /Users/runner/work/18/s/webdashboard/ios/Runner.xcworkspace -scheme Runner build CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Manual CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY='iPhone Distribution' PROVISIONING_PROFILE=[profile] PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER= | /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/bin/xcpretty -r junit --no-colorAnd now I'm receiving the following error:
/Users/runner/work/18/s/[project/ios/Runner/GeneratedPluginRegistrant.m:12:9: module 'share_plus' not found.
My pods folder is also empty.
Does anybody know what to do? I tried a lot of different commands.
