Open application page from Facebook, vk.com

Hi there!

This sounds like a more general, non-Facebook-specific problem with Universal Links. Your applinks: entries are correct assuming the links you are using to test are generated with your Test key, so that removes one of the major problems. Could you run through the other items on our Universal Links troubleshooting guide and see if this fixes the problem?

Hi Alex, I checked already. All seems correct. Im not doing anything related to bnc.lt.

Hows my app delegate below?

@available(iOS 9.0, *)
func application(app: UIApplication, openURL url: NSURL, options: [String : AnyObject]) -> Bool {
SGLogger.logDebug("START")
 
if (!Branch.getInstance().handleDeepLink(url)) {
// do other deep link routing for the Facebook SDK, Pinterest SDK, etc
if (url.URLString.containsString("com.googleusercontent.apps")) {
return GIDSignIn.sharedInstance().handleURL(url, sourceApplication: options[UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsSourceApplicationKey] as! String?, annotation: options[UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsAnnotationKey])
}
else {
return FBSDKApplicationDelegate.sharedInstance().application(app, openURL: url, sourceApplication: options[UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsSourceApplicationKey] as! String?, annotation: options[UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsAnnotationKey])
}
}
return true
}
 
 
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
 
[more codes here]
 
// configure Facebook
FBSDKApplicationDelegate.sharedInstance().application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
 
// for Google Conversion Tracking
ACTConversionReporter.reportWithConversionID("xxxx", label: "xxxx", value: "0.00", isRepeatable: false)
 
Branch.getInstance().accountForFacebookSDKPreventingAppLaunch()
// for deep linking using Branch
Branch.getInstance().initSessionWithLaunchOptions(launchOptions, andRegisterDeepLinkHandler: { optParams, error in
 
if error == nil, let params = optParams {
}
else {
SGLogger.logDebug("error=\(error.description)")
}
})
return true
}
 
 
func application(application: UIApplication, continueUserActivity userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: ([AnyObject]?) -> Void) -> Bool {
SGLogger.logDebug("userActivity=\(userActivity)")
// pass the url to the handle deep link call
Branch.getInstance().continueUserActivity(userActivity);
return true
}
 

The AppDelegate looks OK to me, but that has no impact on Universal Links so it won’t be the issue here. Do Universal Links work correctly for you when opened from the default Notes App?

Yes Alex. Link from Notes can open the app directly.

So weird. I checked everything. All seems correct =/

Ahhhh yes, in that case this is the expected behavior. See my earlier response for more info:

“This is a known issue with Facebook. […] The workaround is to enable our deepviews feature for your links, because this will show a web preview with a button to launch the app. It’s an extra click for users and not ideal, but currently the best option!”

Yeah. I already enabled Deepview. But after clicking the ‘Get the app’ button there, it always goes to AppStore.

Ahh, that is very strange. Since you have no trouble opening the app from Notes, that rules out most of the usual Universal Links issues. I think at this point you’ll probably want to submit an Integrations ticket so we can take a peek on the backend too.

@ivan which config?

Ivan, I’m afraid it’s not completely clear to me what isn’t working here. Could you give some additional details and examples to help me track down the issue?

Alex, I mean that when I use marketing link with custom deep link data (custom params to open custom page in app), this params not included after I click to “open” link in Deepview.

That is very odd. We usually don’t have any issues with this, so it sounds like some sort of configuration problem. Could you share an example marketing link with custom params set where you are seeing this incorrect behavior?

Mm, Already working 😉 May be not always stable.

And new question: can I add custom information (about custom page) at deeview? Not only one page.

Glad it’s working. How strange there was an issue before!

You definitely can do customizations. Take a look at our documentation page here.

Thanks!
