Deep links point to the website when app is not installed #5

Shared experiences in facebook and messenger point to the friskal.com web site instead of the app store for downloading the app.

The issue is not visible in android devices.

This isn't an app bug but a firebase bug. When creating a dynamic link you have to specify a fallbackURL as per their documentation in order to go somewhere if all else fails. However, it seems that they're doing something wrong at the moment and it always ends up on the fallbackURL on iOS. When I changed the fallback to google.com it was always redirecting me to Google.

Leaving the fallbackURL empty results in the dynamic link having correct behaviour, however it's not advised as it may produce problems in the future.

Let me know if you prefer to leave it empty or not.
