onDynamicLink Event not firing on iOS #15

erikm30 · 2018-08-03T06:49:06Z

On Android everything works smoothly, but on iOS the onDynamicLink event is not firing, so we cannot get the payload out of the link.

murshid1988 · 2018-08-07T16:20:20Z

I have the same issue. Using Ionic 3.

AndreasGassmann · 2018-08-10T08:34:12Z

I have the same problem.

Maybe it's related to this?

Are you getting the same error when you enable the diagnostics output?

chemerisuk · 2018-08-10T09:03:03Z

What cordova-ios version do you have?

AndreasGassmann · 2018-08-10T09:09:55Z

My cordova-ios version is 4.5.5.
cordova version is 7.1.0

murshid1988 · 2018-08-11T07:55:36Z

Mine is
cordova-ios 4.5.5
cordova 8.0.0

murshid1988 · 2018-08-11T15:39:26Z

@AndreasGassmann May I know how did you manage to get the Firebase Dynamic Links diagnostics to work?

AndreasGassmann · 2018-08-12T02:12:59Z

@murshid1988 I followed the instructions here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/debug

To make sure the plugin was completely initialized, I added [FIRDynamicLinks performDiagnosticsWithCompletion:nil]; to another plugin that I know would be called only after some time (in my case I added it to the QR scanner plugin, so when I triggered the plugin, the Firebase Diagnostic was printed). I'm not sure if this is necessary though.

murshid1988 · 2018-08-12T13:24:43Z

@AndreasGassmann I mean I would like to know the path or the file you added. I tried putting the code in /node_modules/cordova-plugin-firebase-dynamiclinks/src/ios/FirebaseDynamicLinksPlugin.m and it didn't work. I might be doing it wrong.

AndreasGassmann · 2018-08-12T15:07:09Z

I opened xcode and edited the file in the "plugins" folder. That way you can rebuild and it gets added to the app immediately. I think the problem for you is that the code doesn't actually get built. Just add a simple NSLog(@"Test") to see if the code is included in your project.

murshid1988 · 2018-08-12T15:34:43Z

@AndreasGassmann Cool. Thanks. I will check and let you know.

AndreasGassmann · 2018-08-15T12:45:07Z

@murshid1988 Did you find anything out?

murshid1988 · 2018-08-17T10:22:17Z

@AndreasGassmann Nope not yet. Waiting for my friend to return the Mac. I will update you

AndreasGassmann · 2018-09-04T07:59:24Z

@murshid1988 Any updates? I still didn't manage to get this to work.

murshid1988 · 2018-09-14T07:16:02Z

Nope. Couldn't get the diagnostic output even. But the strange thing is if the links shared in facebook the app manages to open it. But WhatsApp and other messaging platforms such as Telegram are not doing the expected. I feel like this has something do with the app page generated by Firebase.

ericgopak · 2018-12-14T00:43:23Z

I've come across the same issue. Is there any solution to this?

nstokoe · 2019-01-11T18:51:44Z

Same issue here. I'm using the plugin through capacitor with cordova plugins. I can get the dynamic link to open my app via an associated domain, and firebase analytics even logs the APP ACTIVE message, but the onDynamicLink method does not fire.

alfazjikani · 2019-04-19T06:40:09Z

I had similar issue about plugin initialization for iOS. I added below code in load method of file AppDelegate+FirebaseDynamicLinksPlugin.m and it worked. Attaching file for reference.
AppDelegate+FirebaseDynamicLinksPlugin.txt

//Firebase app initialization
if (![FIRApp defaultApp]) {
[FIRApp configure];
}

THEDOWNCOUNTRY · 2019-08-06T06:05:25Z

Hi @nstokoe Where you able to find a solution with this issue I have the same problem and @alfazjikani did get the diagnostic log to to print my app id as custom scheme but onDynamicLink event still not firing.

nstokoe · 2019-08-07T15:24:16Z

No. After much frusteration, I ended up scraping the code that used this plugin and implemented my own Capacitor plugin (with no Cordova dependencies) that interacted directly with the native FireBase SDKs. I think I may have used this plugin as an example to follow: https://github.com/baumblatt/capacitor-firebase-auth

THEDOWNCOUNTRY · 2019-08-08T20:19:05Z

@nstokoe Great way to go, I had that in mind. would you mind sharing your codes after your done?

josh-m-sharpe · 2019-11-02T20:48:41Z

@nstokoe did you get something working?

kassamina · 2020-01-13T19:03:30Z

I ran into this bug, but was able to get around it with a version bump from

<pod name="Firebase/Analytics" spec="~> 6.3.0" />
<pod name="Firebase/DynamicLinks" spec="~> 6.3.0" />

to

<pod name="Firebase/Analytics" spec="~> 6.5.0" />
<pod name="Firebase/DynamicLinks" spec="~> 6.5.0" />

luboslav · 2020-01-20T11:34:18Z

@kassamina is it working fine in both states (app in background and app killed) ?

crebuh · 2020-05-26T08:15:41Z

I had the same issue for the scenario of when the app was terminated and it was caused by a conflict with cordova-plugin-firebasex.

alif1993 · 2020-06-15T00:16:55Z

After a couple of days dedicating to getting rid of this bug, I came to the conclusion that using IONIC is MUST NOT do thing.

We're having the same issue on Cordova CLI 9.0.0 and cordova-ios 6.1.0. onDynamicLink fires just fine when the app is in the background, but not at all on launch.

I'm using capacitor and having the same issue too, did you get to find any solution?

ericgopak · 2020-11-14T01:17:08Z

Experiencing the same issue. The problem seems to occur only on iOS with Capacitor.

A post on StackOverflow raises concerns that perhaps the issue is with method swizzling in Objective-C vs. Swift. This plugin is written in Objective-C. Someone wrote an unofficial plugin in Swift here.

ericgopak · 2020-11-15T04:06:47Z

Update: for those using Capacitor here's a working plugin - https://github.com/Turnoutt/capacitor-firebase-dynamic-links

tzappia · 2021-11-25T19:07:37Z

Ever since the introduction of the getDynamicLink() function, we are able to get the link from a cold startup using the following flow:

document.addEventListener('deviceready', () => {
  cordova.plugins.firebase.dynamiclinks.getDynamicLink().then(data => openLink(data));
  cordova.plugins.firebase.dynamiclinks.onDynamicLink(data => openLink(data));
}, {
  once: true,
  capture: false
});

Where openLink() is how we route the user to the appropriate place.
