I'm having a problem for deeplinking in iOS when the user haven't installed the app. I can't use universal link because the link that's access by user will be a redirect link to the link that have the AASA file. The link that'll be clicked/accessed by user is "deeplink.example.com/{input}" which will redirect to "api.example.com/api/v3/deeplink/{input}", so I can't use universal link, so that endpoint will redirect to URL Scheme instead, like myApp://deeplink/{input}.
I can't find a solution for this problem when user haven't installed the app while still using url scheme, so I'm thinking instead of redirecting it to url scheme, i'll put the url scheme in branch.io and redirect the endpoint to branch.io, like branchdeeplink.com/{input}.
The problem is, can I pass the the input in branchdeeplink.com/{input} to custom url scheme in myApp://deeplink/{input} using branch.io?
A Branchster here -
Passing in query param in the URI scheme as in the example shared is currently not possible. Since you can already attach custom data to your deep links we don't support query params for URI schemes. When you are creating your links you can add
$deeplink_path = product/123
Since Branch automatically appends URI scheme to your links, when the link would open your application like this -
yourUriScheme://product/123
which you can use for in-app routing.
When the users don't have your app installed, they'd be routed to either App Store or the URL specified under iOS redirects in the Configuration Section of Branch Dashboard.

What is the correct format for a redirect URL when authenticating with OAuth2 and the Harvest API from an iOS application?
oauth.com states that a redirect URL for a native application can look like myapp://callback. Problem is, Harvest doesn't accept such a redirect URL. It seems to require prefixing it with http/https, which causes problems when redirecting back to the iOS application at the end of the authentication flow. I don't seem to find anything relevant in the Harvest API documentation.
I have added a URL Type in Xcode where I set the Identifier value to com.example.myapp and the URL Schemes value to MyApp. No matter what redirect URL I specify (given the format mentioned above) in Harvest the authentication flow always complains that Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found. I am able to open the app manually with the appname:// URL from the
It sounds like you're looking for the URL to use regarding redirection from a web call. I'm not certain on oath2, but on SAML it is something like
https://where you are signing in/SSOpage?RelayState=https://where you are going
I hope this helps get you to your answer.
If anyone else has this issue, the identifier and URL Schemes should not be com.example.myapp and MyApp, respectively. You only need to set the URL Scheme to com.example.myapp
I was developing Android App that could be opened by url link sent to email. The domain exist but the path not (ex. google.com/abcdefgh1234). Im not an owner of the website so putting AASA file there is not possible. The link also contained jwt with some info that I was handling in the app. I wanted to do the same on ios but what I found, URL schemes doesn't support http and Universal Links need special file on that website. Is there a way to handle this on iOS?
You can check custom URL scheme https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/allowing_apps_and_websites_to_link_to_your_content/defining_a_custom_url_scheme_for_your_app
It will work without adding special file to the server. You need only a special link and after a tap on it, you will be redirected to that app (if it exists on your phone). Maybe this is what are you looking for
I am new to deep linking in iOS and I am trying to make sign-in work with a magic link.
The links that the users would receive in their email inbox would be something like this:
https://subdomain.domain.com/?autoLogin=XXXX...XXXX
I want to extract the auto login token and make sure when users click into this link, it takes the user directly to the app.
What path should I put in the apple-app-site-association file?
Currently I have /?autoLogin= and it's not working.
In your URL, ?autoLogin= is a query item and not part of the path.
In your apple-app-site-association you should just need to set the path to /. The ? is messing it up since it's used to match any single character in the string.
If you want to have a specific path, you'll have to update your url to something like https://subdomain.domain.com/autoLogin?token=XXXX...XXXX, then you could add /autoLogin to apple-app-site-association.
Is it possible to get branch.io to try to open the iOS app with a specific HTTPS URI such as https://example.com/openapp?
I can only set up iOS URI Scheme which the app does not have and will not have.
Also is it possible to pass query params through branch.io?
If you wish to open an app with a specific URI scheme, the said app should be configured/ modified to handle the URI scheme. If it doesn’t support the particular URI scheme you will not be able to open the app.
You can pass information to your app along with Branch links by appending query parameters. You can also create Branch links dynamically by appending the query parameters to your Branch link sub-domain.
Here are the formats you can use based on the link subdomain:
The account settings page for registering an app accepts just valid http:// url schemes. We would require a custom url scheme in order to redirect back to our iOS app. Is there currently a way to provide a custom url scheme or if not, would it be possible to allow custom URL schemes from your side?
(I work at Asana.) We agree those would be useful. There is currently no way to use non-http schemes but we will look into adding them soon. Stay tuned!
