How to use dynamic links with a custom URL scheme?

Question

If I use https://appdomain.page.link/?link=myapp://appdomain.co%2Fwebview%2profile%2Fsignup%3Femail%[email protected]&ibi=co.myapp.mobile

the dynamic link is invalid because of the 'myapp://'. The API docs state I can only use https or http here, but when I do that, I cannot get it to open in iOS because iOS requires a custom URL scheme for universal links to work so I feel like i'm not understanding something here. I have tried adding 'https' to the list of schemes in my Info.plist but it still refuses to open the app, and goes straight to browser.

Setting the ius param in the dynamic link to 'myapp' does not work either.

How can I make this work?

Answer 1

There is no way to specify the link parameter without http if you want it to be cross platform, so you must make iOS handle http/https links instead, by using applinks. Make sure all the links you expect your app to handle (which do not start with a custom scheme) are defined under applinks.
