Branch.io (deep link activity) not working on iOS12 swift?

Question

We have implemented the deep link activity in our application. It worked in iOS 11. When we send SMS via a web portal. Its received in iPhone. After updated into iOS 12 the link messages are not received for my iPhone devices. Here is my code below:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

let branch: Branch = Branch.getInstance()
    branch.initSession(launchOptions: launchOptions, automaticallyDisplayDeepLinkController: true, deepLinkHandler: { params, error in
        if error == nil {}}

// Respond to URI scheme links
func application(_ application: UIApplication, open url: URL, sourceApplication: String?, annotation: Any) -> Bool {
    Branch.getInstance().handleDeepLink(url);
    return true
}

we have added branch_app_domain, branch_key and URL Type in plist also.

Do we need to add anything in my code ??

You have to change in you info.plist file need add key and URL Types. – Keelby

yes. I have added branch_app_domain, branch_key and URL Type also – Minacious

@HarikarthickK have you add association domain ? – Hobart

yes. It was working in iOS11 but after updating the iOS12 i can't get any messages. – Minacious

@HarikarthickK did you implement this method func application(_ application: UIApplication, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: @escaping ([UIUserActivityRestoring]?) in your appdelegate? – Hobart

Answer 1

After updating a device to iOS 11.2+,the app's AASA file is no longer downloaded reliably onto your user’s device after an app install. As a result, clicking on Universal Links will no longer open the app consistently. You can set forced uri redirect mode on your Branch links to open the app with URI schemes. View details of the issue on the Apple Bug report.

Where can I change the uri_redirect_mode in branch dashboard? – Minacious

@HarikarthickK Is your issue resolved? Did you find where we can change that uri_redirect_mode? – Malvin
