In the documentation it says to add the following lines to my AppDelegate.swift:
// Set deepLinkURLScheme to the custom URL scheme you defined in your
// Xcode project.
FIROptions.default().deepLinkURLScheme = self.customURLScheme
From what I understand this should be the same link you put in your info.plist. However, I'm confused why in the quickstart-ios repo they decided to make this equal to "dlscheme".
Can anybody help me understand what exactly this scheme is?
This is not clear in the Dynamic Links integration instructions — I ran into the same issue even though I work with these things all day at Branch.io (full disclosure: we're an alternative/improvement to Dynamic Links).
When configuring a custom URI scheme, you need to supply both an Identifier and a URL Scheme. Apple recommends using a reverse domain value for the Identifier, but since your bundle ID is also typically reverse domain format, these two often end up being identical.
By default, Firebase expects you to use your bundle identifier as your custom URI scheme. When you do this, their default configuration takes over and you don't need to specify the FIROptions.default().deepLinkURLScheme = self.customURLScheme line at all. The URI scheme config ends up looking like this, which is a bit counter-intuitive:
However, if you decide to use a value that is not your bundle ID for the URL Scheme (very common), then you DO need the FIROptions.default().deepLinkURLScheme = self.customURLScheme line. But you also need this one before it: let customURLScheme = "somethingelse". You can see this here in the quickstart, and also where the URI scheme is defined in the info.plist file here.
Basically, the Firebase team tried to simplify things by assuming the bundle ID as the custom URI scheme value. This is not a bad option, but it can be confusing and as you can see, even their own quickstart project uses a more advanced config.

I am following fastlane's default configuration conventions for a React Native project. That is to say, my project structure looks like (e.g.):
/ios/fastlane/metadata/en-GB
with the en-GB subdirectory containing the following files:
description.txt
keywords.txt
name.txt
privacy_url.txt
release_notes.txt
support_url.txt
Everything was working perfectly until I tried to internationalise.
Now, when fastlane's upload_to_app_store() (aliased with deliver()) runs in my CI/CD pipeline, it fails and I see the following error:
The provided entity is missing a required attribute - You must provide a value for the attribute 'privacyPolicyText' with this request - /data/attributes/privacyPolicyText
I already have privacy_url.txt in there which was previously sufficient.
The thing that fixed it was adding a apple_tv_privacy_policy.txt (just containing a URL pointing to our privacy policy) file to the en-GB subdirectory.
Weird, given that the Fastfile was working completely fine before without any sort of privacy policy for TV. Very frustrating error message!
Does someone have any examples how to generate AR URL?
Reading Web SDK documentation, seems that there is no functionality to do that.
Found https://github.com/Roomle/roomle-button but not sure that`s still way to go since it has not been updated for 2 years.
If you are using the Roomle SDK you can use saveCurrentConfiguration to get the configuration id (hash) of the current configuration. Not sure what you used at the moment to obtain a configuration id but you need to call this in order to save it on the Roomle server and open it in another place.
Also make sure to set the configuratorId URL param when linking to the AR site.
I need to do an hyperlink to an external page in Guidewire Policy Center.
I am using a function in a gsx enhancement file that returns a String with the url according some parameters.
The problem is that I don't know how to use the url to redirect to another page.
As Carlos mentioned you need to create / use an ExitPoint PCF. The documentation is linked in his answer so I won't do it again, however in case it becomes invalid for some reason here's the long and short of it.
You need to create a new PCF file and make of type exitpoint
In there you make an exitPointParameter, fill out the necessary fields, and you're set.
Then you can put your link wherever you want and just put in the action nameOfExitPointPCF.push("http://www.google.com")
You can put other parameters in there, and it'll build it for you, just refer to the documentation.
For really simple external links, there's one called ExternalUrl.pcf that I assume is in the out of the box configuration.
You must create a ExitPoint PCF file. You can read about that in module documentation. Open the page with Firefox...

I'm trying the Branch.io API and I think I'm getting a weird problem because I'm not able to create my links properly: I can use the link for starting the app without parameter: this link http://4t3i.app.link/KDSYTMnSZs.
It works perfectly but as soon as I try to put some parameter following the doc for appending query parameters, it returns a File Not Found Webpage.
I tried:
https://4t3i.app.link/a/?&jobId=saucisse
https://4t3i.app.link/a?%24deeplink_path=article%2Fjan%2F123&%24fallback_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com&channel=facebook&feature=affiliate&user_id=4562&name=Alex (that's the example they give)
I have the feeling I'm really missing something but no idea what. Is that so easy to add parameters: just a/ and then appending parameters??
Alex from Branch.io here:
We recently made a major back-end change to accommodate some new technical limitations that Apple imposed with iOS 9.3.1, and unfortunately it looks like we didn't fully update all our docs yet!
Your links are correct, but the /a is no longer necessary. So they would be:
https://4t3i.app.link?&jobId=saucisse
https://4t3i.app.link?%24deeplink_path=article%2Fjan%2F123&%24fallback_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com&channel=facebook&feature=affiliate&user_id=4562&name=Alex
When you open these, you'll be able to see the link clicks coming through on this dashboard page
Thanks for noticing this. I'll make sure we get the documentation changedto reflect the new system.
Edit: also note that those examples above create new links with the specified parameters. If you simply want to append an additional parameter to an existing link, you'd do this: http://4t3i.app.link/KDSYTMnSZs?jobId=saucisse
I've got an article in Main.
I want to link to it from another Web, call it Acme.
I've tried
Main.MyLink
%Main%MyLink
but can't get it to work.
What do I do now?
The general syntax for that is
web.topic
so you should be fine with
Main.MyLink
if you want to link to a topic MyLink in a web named Main. If your web Acme (or your whole wiki) has disabled auto-linking in the preference settings, you need to use the square brackets notation, e.g.
[[Main.MyLink]]
or
[[Main.MyLink][my link]]
