Firebase dynamic link with page preview disable not working - firebase

I would like to disable efr param to 1 in our dynamic link from firebase, in order to skip the preview page and get directly to the appstore. Thinking it will work.. but now the link is not copied to the app on install. What is your solution here in order to not show the preview page, go directly to the appstore, and keep the url within the clipboard on install?
IMO, UX wise, it's nicer to not have the preview page, even if I add metadata to it.
Thanks.

While there's an option to disable the app preview page, it's in place to ensure Dynamic Link reliability in iOS. You can have it disabled, but it won't guarantee that the FDL will work as expected in iOS. This is explained in more detail here.

Sending a firebase dynamic link over SMS from the desktop page

I have firebase deep links working in my app, and when a user visits them on desktop it takes them to a custom webpage I made that says "This content is only available on the app. Please download it to continue" with app store links for my app.
I want to add a form that says "enter your phone number to get texted the link to download the app" and I have no issues doing that with twilio.
Where I'm stuck is that I want to SMS the original deep link to the user. But the firebase deep link system already redirected me to the desktop page so I don't have access to the deep link anymore. Is there any way to get the original deep link?
I do have the path of the original deep link in the URL so I could possibly reconstruct it? But is there an easier way, or an existing solution to my problem of wanting to get users to install our app without losing the deep link context?
If you create your originally link manually you can use the Other Platform Parameters ofl to send a parameter of the dynamic link to be sent in text message to the desktop users.
See the doc's on how to manually create your link.
Alternatively, in the past I've added a parameter to the short link which has been passed through to the webapp, maybe you could use that to pass the dynamic link. Not tested, but should have the desired effect.

How do you disable the Google Maps API?

I am trying to speed up my website and have found that Google Maps is the culprit. I have removed the maps but the scripts are still activating - https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?
Is there a way to disable them on my wordpress site?
For more additional information, if you really wish not to use our API, you can always disable/enable it in the Developer Console. All you have to do is to follow the steps below:
Go to the GCP Console API Dashboard page.
GO TO THE API DASHBOARD PAGE
Click Select to choose the GCP project.
Next to the API you want to disable, click Disable.
or you can check Google Cloud's Enabling and Disabling Services.
Hope I was able to help you.
You should check if there is a plugin that calls it automatically and check if the plugin or theme has this option.
If the plugin or theme does not have this option you will need to manually search the code where it is being used and remove it.
Unfortunately in your case you will need to see the code of the themes or plugins on which the script is being called so that you can have a way to remove it.
Because each plugin / thema calls this in different ways and sometimes only manually to remove

Remove/delete Firebase dynamic links

I have created the dynamic links using Firebase console. But there are no option to remove or delete or edit options.
I want to delete dynamic links from the console. Any help appreciate.
This is not possible.
Deleting links would be a problem since that could lead to broken data and user experiences. At Branch.io (full disclosure: I'm on the Branch team), we don't allow link deletion either (you can 'Archive' the link to get it off the screen, but that does not make the URL inactive).
Firebase probably prevents editing for the same reason. At Branch, we do allow editing of everything except the link URL (since that would be effectively deleting the link).
Google just added the edit and archive feature. You can check that out in the Firebase console
You can only archive the link but the link will still work, but it will no longer be displayed on the Firebase console.
If you desperately wanted to delete it, what you can do is delete the URL prefix and associated links; all dynamic links and analytics associated with that domain are permanently deleted.

how to link to an official account from the built-in browser

From an official account main menu view I can provide a URL and it will open in the built in WeChat browser.
Is there a way to close the browser and come back to the main account menu?
I don't want to have the user hit the [X] button each time.
Is there a standard URL format for an official account that can be used as a link to open the account from a browser?
In short, there's no way to do that.
In early days, there are some hacking ways to do this, but now they are all not working any more.
You can put a qrcode image of your account on your site for users to scan and follow you.

Google Tag Manager Publish Button Not Showing

I've recently started to use Google Tag Manager and I have read/edit access to the container, created a tag with accompanying rules, and saved the version. Next, I went to the versions menu, clicked on the tag version I wanted to publish, and it takes me to a page with that tag's information. On the right side of the page, there should be a Publish and Preview button available based on what I've seen in their video and from what I read in other support forums. For me, there is only a Preview button. I went ahead and clicked on it and went through the site preview and debugging options, but no publish button even after I verified everything was fine and came back. I reloaded the page, still nothing. Added more tags and saved their versions, can't publish any of them either as the button still isn't there. Is there something I'm missing?
Looks like you do not have enough permissions to publish containers.
GTM account/containers have 3 levels of access:
View only
View and Edit only
View, Edit, Delete, and Publish
Ask webmaster to add you access level "View, Edit, Delete, and Publish".
