[REQUIRED] Please describe the question here:

I want to generate short dynamic links inside the app for every user. I managed to do it for android users but in iOS the short links launch website instead of app store page.

Heres my code

// CREATES LONG DYNAMIC LINK var components = new Firebase.DynamicLinks.DynamicLinkComponents( // The base Link. new System.Uri("https://example.com/?"), // The dynamic link URI prefix. "https://example.page.link") { IOSParameters = new Firebase.DynamicLinks.IOSParameters("com.Example.Example"), AndroidParameters = new Firebase.DynamicLinks.AndroidParameters("com.Example.ExampleApp"), }; var options = new Firebase.DynamicLinks.DynamicLinkOptions { PathLength = DynamicLinkPathLength.Short, };

I found this post but couldn't figure out how to add isi parameter to my uri

Hi @SonmezYigithan,

According to our documentation, the isi parameter corresponds to the App Store ID. To add this as a dynamic link component, you can add something like this after declaring your components variable:

components.IOSParameters.AppStoreId = "<app-store-id>";

I'll be closing this for now. Let me know if an issue arises with this solution.

That solved the issue. The link is now directing iOS users to the app store. But now I can't receive the dynamic link after user opened the app from the app store. It works fine on the android side.

Hi @SonmezYigithan,

I'd like you to verify a few things:

1. Check the app's bundle ID against the ibi parameter of the dynamic link and confirm that they match.
2. If you have the optional ius parameter added to the Dynamic Link, the custom scheme URL with matching value must be set in the app.
3. In the Capabilities tab of your app's Xcode project, verify Associated Domains is enabled and add the following to the Associated Domains list: applinks:{your_dynamic_links_domain}. Check out this guide for more details.
4. Verify if https://{your_dynamic_links_domain}/apple-app-site-association contains an entry for your app and if {team-id}.{bundle-id} values are correct for your app.

Hello @paulinon

1. I checked the ibi parameter and it matches with my app bundle ID
2. I don't use ius parameter
3. I enabled the Associated Domains in Xcode.

I don't understand the 4th step. can you clarify?
here's whats inside the link
{"applinks":{"apps":[],"details":[{"appID":"4********Z.com.Example.Example","paths":["NOT /_/*","/*"]}]}}

Hi @SonmezYigithan,

Could you verify if "4********Z.com.Example.Example" corresponds to your {team-id}.{bundle-id} values?
