Accessibility service EqualWeb is unable to read the contents rendered by Flutter Web - accessibility

We are trying to integrate EqualWeb as our accessibility service for our App. EqualWeb support said their app is unable to read the contents because the contents are rendered within a special tag #shadow-root.
Is there a way to tweak the rendering so we can make the contents rendered by Flutter Web screen reader friendly?
I believe Flutter creators would have definitely through all these but I'm just unable to figure it out. Please help/guide.

React Native - Dynamic link not persisting through install process

I have a small React Native app for which I have a series of Firebase dynamic links. When the app is installed, the links work perfectly in directing users to the relevant screen defined in the dynamic link
However, if the user does not have the app installed when the dynamic link is followed, the route defined in the dynamic link does not persist.
Is it possible to persist the deep link during the installation process?
I've tried a basic deep link URL like https://fakedomain.org/upload as well as using the ?link=https://fakedomain.org/upload param and neither seem to work.
To answer your question, it is possible to persist the link after installs but it won't be %100 successful because of some limitations on the iOS side. You can check the flowcharts in here
There could be a couple of reasons for it not to work after the app installation. Since no code is provided I'll assume you are listening to the dynamic link with onLink for the app's active state and checking the initial link with getInitialLink when your app is in the quit state.
Persisting the link after app installation involves the clipboard in iOS so make sure the problem is not related to new iOS 16 copy/paste permissions.
Your navigation library might be trying to navigate to the route from the link before your navigation stack is initialized.
If the problem occurs only in one platform it might indicate a problem in your native setup like maybe related to LinkingManager etc.
If you are using a custom domain, you should double check your Associated Domains and AndroidManifest settings.

Should I use Firebase Dynamic Links over Universal and App Links?

Im building an app for iOS and Android and need to open urls in the app on mobile and in the browser on desktop.
All links should open in the app if possible, so I cant generate one link for each possible url.
Can I do this in Firebase or do I have to create links in advance?
I'm not sure this question is related specifically to Firebase, or a general one.
I can try answering about the general case:
For opening in App:
In order to use Universal Links in iOS and AppLinks in Android, you'll need your click server to host Apple's AASA file or Android's asset file. This means that you'll need to serve that file for the operating system.
For opening in browser on desktop:
You'll need your click server to be able to detect desktop user agent and redirect you to store.
I didn't understand your question about: All links should open in the app if possible, so I cant generate one link for each possible url. Actually one link can fit all use cases, but you'll need to develop that capability in your own click server.

Dynamic links in Facebook mobile app is not deep linked to app

Problem — when opening a Firebase Dynamic Link on Facebook Mobile, the Facebook Browser consumes the deep link and does not open the intended mobile app
Question — is there a good workaround in Firebase to help Facebook deliver on the promise of presenting my Dynamic Link as intended?
We are aware of http://applinks.org, and that Facebook is a contributor. Does Firebase have a way to configure their server using the AppLinks spec so that Facebook will pass through the Deep Link to our app instead of consuming it?
Background — I have created a Firebase Dynamic Link for an iOS and Android app.
The Dynamic link delivers everything I expect and is a fantastic experience.
When opened on iOS, it navigates to the App. If not installed, it goes
App Store
When opened on Android, it navigates to the App. If not installed, goes to Play Store
When opened on non-mobile, it navigates to our Website
On Facebook mobile, neither 1 nor 2 happens. The result is that it goes straight to the mobile web experience, thereby eliminating the promise of the Firebase Dynamic Link
To avoid this cases we made a webpage which redirects to firebase dynamic link.
With this solution we can:
Use our domain, not the firebase url.
Ensure that firebase links works in every cases, for example when it opens from a custom browser (fb, samsung).
The disadvantage of doing this is that you'll always need to pass through a web page with an redirect.
I recently had to integrate dynamic links to one of my clients apps, and I got lots of trouble because of deeplinks not working on facebook+android_app.
As I couldn't move to branch.io because of princing reasons, I had to work it out on a different way so followed #Rahul Shukla advise.
I ended with a very simple nodejs+express setup where I receive the dynamic link ID and return a HTML with all the meta-tags required by facebook applinks (android + iOS) and a redirect script (window.location = 'your_dynamic_link') for other clients to be used.
The best part is that now on facebook the app opens directly without the preview page in both platforms and the link works on all browsers via the script redirect.
Here is the gist
the solution I found was to redirect to the dynamic link from a webpage like this
window.location.href = "intent:https://example.page.link/2wertygf456#Intent;end";
this will open the link in your system default external browser and the deeplinks works perfectly.
to trigger this only on facebook in-app browser
if (ua.indexOf("FBAN") != -1 || ua.indexOf("FBAV") != -1) {window.location.href = "intent:https://example.page.link/2wertygf456#Intent;end";}
We were struggling with the similar issue and here's how we finally solved it:
Say this is the final firebase url you are going to share
https://xxxx.app.goo.gl/?apn=com.your.package&link=http://www.yourwebsite.com
Now in the index.html page of your website, add the following meta tags
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="your_fb_app_id" />
<meta property="al:android:package" content="com.your.package" />
<meta property="al:android:app_name" content="YourAwesomeApp" />
<meta property="al:android:url" content="somescheme://XYZ" /> <!-- identifiable by your app, your app must handle this data scheme inside your manifest's intent-filter tag --!>
<meta property="al:web:should_fallback" content="true" />
<meta property="al:web:url" content="http://www.yourwebsite.com/" />
Now the app launches on clicking on the facebook post shared using this link.
I've tried some ways but totally fail. When I use the dynamic link in Facebook post, it shows a dialog to ask me if I wanna open application (I did not install my application yet). Although I accept to open app, nothing happens, it does not open Apple Store as expected
I have to use link like below to force it open apple store app
https://myapp.app.goo.gl/?link=http://mylink.com&ifl=https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-store/idxxxxxxxx%3Fmt%3D8%26ct%3Dutm_source
Deep link with facebook app not work in android because facebook uses InAppBrowser, If you want to make your deep link url workable in facebook. You can change facebook settings like:
In Facebook App: Goto Profile -> App Setting -> check Links open externally.
After changing the setting you will be open deeplinks from facebook app android

JavaScript API for Office Web Apps

Is there a JavaScript API for Office Web Apps (specifically - Word Web App) that I can use in order to get notifications from the Word doc?
My scenario is this:
I have an ASP.NET application, in which I want to display a word document using the Word Web App (on premises). I would like to embed the document in the web page using iFrame (haven't tried it yet, hope it'll work...).
I would like to get notification when the user saved the document, so that when this happens, I can remove the iFrame and display something else.
Is that possible?
I recently read MSDN article on this - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj891051.aspx. Hope that helps.

Google Maps in Flex Component

I'm embedding the Google Maps Flash API in Flex and it runs fine locally with the watermark on it, etc. When I upload it to the server (flex.mydomain.com) I get a sandbox security error listed below:
SecurityError: Error #2121: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: http://mydomain.com/main.swf?Fri, 12 Sep 2008 21:46:03 UTC cannot access http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/lib/map_1_6.swf. This may be worked around by calling Security.allowDomain.
at flash.display::Loader/get content()
at com.google.maps::ClientBootstrap/createFactory()
at com.google.maps::ClientBootstrap/executeNextFrameCalls()
Does anyone have any experience with embedding the Google Maps Flash API into Flex components and specifically settings security settings to make this work? I did get a new API key that is registered to my domain and am using that when it's published.
I've tried doing the following in the main application as well as the component:
Security.allowDomain('*')
Security.allowDomain('maps.googleapis.com')
Security.allowDomain('mydomain.com')
This sounds like a crossdomain.xml related problem. I did a quick search and there seems to be many people with the same issue. Some proxy requests through XMLHttpRequest etc..
Issue 406: Add crossdomain.xml for Google Accounts
Thanks for the help. Apparently this has something to do with including the Flex app on an ASP.NET page. When I moved it over to a flat HTML file, it worked fine. I don't have time to fully investigate right now, but that seems to have fixed it.
