We have implemented iOS universal links that open pages within our mobile app. The links in the format of appname://abc/xyz work when clicked in an app such as Slack, but fail to work in the most updated version of the Gmail app.
I note that the Branch documentation says "If you open a Universal Link in one of these apps, it should work correctly all the time." and it lists Gmail.
So is it Gmail, or is there something maybe that has to implemented differently for the links to work with Gmail vs Slack?
Links in the format appname://abc/xyz are actually URI Schemes, NOT Universal Links. Universal links use the scheme http or https. Gmail does not open apps via URI schemes so you'll have to set up universal links.

We are using hybrid platform - kony for mobile application(android and IOS).
I have configured dynamic links in firebase dynamic links section. When we add the links directly in our email buttons as href tag and if user clicks that link in gmail from mobile browser it's working without any issues in both android and ios. Received dynamic link URL in mobile app and able to navigate user to particular screen based on URL params.
But for tracking purpose(Analytics), on click of that email button we are redirecting the user to our vendor website from there it is getting redirected to firebase dynamic URL. By doing in this way, IOS is working as expected, user is taken to particular screen.
But android has issues. App is opened in normal mode instead of deeplink mode. dynamic link is missing. So we couldn't navigate user to that particular screen.
I have added valid SHA-1 and SHA-256 release keys as well in my firebase project.
I have valid assetlinks.json file for the domain which i created. It's a custom domain with xxx.page.link(below one for reference).
URL which is used in href tag: http://t.XXX.com/click_stats/?ID=xxxx&ContactID=xxxxx&Tracking=98c68752ea4f4af1ab9922178ff608c1&StepId=128262
Firebase Deeplink URL: https://xxx.page.link/frmOffers
So 1st link will be added in email buttons href tags- when user clicks 1st link,we will capture analytics and redirect to 1st link. Android app is opening but not in deeplink mode. Link url params are missing.
Please check and help. If IOS is working why android is not working.

you need to write an Kony FFI for this we handled this kind of use case recently and solved via FFI.
I'm developing a website that requires a 2FA. We already permit to users to set it by scanning a QR Code shown in our configuration page.
My question is a bit more tricky. How can I permit user to open the app if he opens the page from mobile browser, ie. navigating from the phone with the Authenticator app installed?
I already have the logic to understand if the user is on mobile or not, but I don't find any solution that can replace the QRCode since the user cannot use the mobile camera in that case (he is using the phone to net on my website!).
I was searching the possibility to create a link that is recognised by an authenticator app (Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator) but I didn't find a solution. Any idea?
After some research and trial, I found the link I was searching for.
In Google Authenticator (or any other app), the account are listed in the form:
Amazon(my#amazon.com)
123455
Google(me#gmail.com)
455234
Issuer(email)
554645
AnotherCode
142414
In order to generate a new entry without scanning the QRCode, a link in the form of:
otpauth://totp/dev#it.com?secret=123abc&issuer=StackOverflow
has to be opened. For instance, the link above results in the following entry:
StackOverflow(dev#it.com)
The link is opened by the phone using the installed Authenticator app.
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.
Im trying to Code a Programm with a WebView with includes reCaptcha by Google. When i load the Web Page it says that my Browser doesnt Support reCaptcha. Is there anyway to fix this with a method or something?
Thanks!
Override user by overriding the User agent string using WebEngine.setUserAgent("use required / intended UA string");
There are a lot of issues with this:
In order to use a ReCaptcha, you need to have an HTTP/HTTPS environment, so you cannot serve the local file statically from WebView. This means that you'll have to either host your page online or on localhost and then open that within WebView.
As Priyanka mentioned, you can also override the user agent string as said, but the WebView browser still doesn't have all the JS libraries that you need (as of 2020, the "click all squares that have traffic lights" isn't functional).
I would probably recommend opening the auth page in the user's local browser and then using some kind of callback function.
I work in an area where the business users heavily depend on bookmarks to access their work-related web applications. Our standard browser is Internet Explorer v6. We have a new Flex application - when you add the site to Internet Explorer Favorites, then later try to access the site with the Favorites link, we get the following error message: "internet explorer cannot open the internet site http://our url. Operation aborted". If we then bring up the properties for the link and remove the trailing "#' from the url, the link works.
What is this trailing "#", and can it be removed? Is there a way to have Internet Explorer bookmarking to work for this site (other than manually editing the bookmark)? The problem doesn't occur in Firefox (but not everyone has access to that browser).
The trailing # is used to provide information to your client-side framework. It was originally meant to provide the ability to link to anchor points in an HTML document. It has been "hijacked" by JavaScript frameworks to provide state information to Flash and Flex applications.
The primary benefit of using # to navigate is that the browser doesn't navigate off the current page - meaning you only need to load your framework once. Traditional URLs would force an entire page reload.
Most likely you can't remove it. You should be able to provide a means for a secondary URL scheme that encodes what you need in a query string (?foobar=1).
You will need to configure server-side processing to either redirect the user to the hash URL or load the necessary information via a JavaScript hook to your Flex framework.
You might also look into the new Google Chrome plugin for IE.
You can turn this off in the compiler parameters in Flex Builder. Go into the project settings, then in "Flex Compiler" uncheck the box that says "Enable integration with browser navigation".
