In order for this to work in the most cross platform way we need to set up Universal Links, which are different from your typical App Deep Links
Deep links use a custom url schemes like 24://messages?some=value, then redirects to the corresponding view in the app but do not always work super well a cross platform and fail if the user does not have the app installed.
Universal links work very similarly to Deep links, but uses real web addresses instead. They are still deep links and handled by the app in the same way however a website is required for your app to use universal links.
Obviously Universal links are better but the big downside is that it requires a website which will require more time to create, let me know you thoughts @Domthegrom and @darrius.
@dawidvdh https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/ firebase should have us covered on this.
we are doing as much as possible to only use functions that are built within google firebase. while there are other advance tools from deep linking such as branch.io, it comes with an added expense.
Oh awesome, that will most definitely work thanks @darrius
@Domthegrom for this we are also gonna need to eject as we need access to the ios
/android
folder in order to supply them with the GoogleService-Info.plist
User will click on link then be prompted to download and write a message to that user.
This is hot ticket item @dawidvdh This will be one of the largest but simplest feature to introduce to the application.
Deep linking users back to the app will be a major key in the success.
