non_branch_link is empty on iOS only

[masimplo]

Hi, I am trying to migrate an app from ionic deeplink plugin to branch. For the first few releases I need to support both non branch deeplinks as they are out in the wild and branch links. In android everything works as expected as I handle +non_branch_link for the old links. When the same link is pressed in iOS, the app opens but there is no +non_branch_link field on the payload. In fact it acts exactly as if I opened the app by pressing the app icon and not a link. Branch links work as expected in both platforms.

In xcode logs I do see a log:

Example[14234:2883109] jsonMessageStr = {"status":"success","type":"onAppOpenAttribution","data":{"link":"https:\/\/demo.example.com\/#\/intouch"}}

but from initSession() I only get

{+clicked_branch_link: false, +is_first_session: false}

I did find an old closed issue of something like that happening because of a conflict with the Facebook plugin so here is the list of plugins and versions I am currently using in case it helps:
