My app not getting FB deep link when installed through App Store

ilyakar commented 5 years ago

Hi guys,

My FB Deferred deep link is: einee://free_marilyn_monroe=true. Clicking on Install in the test ad (when the app is already installed) works fine. However, when the app is not yet installed and clicking on the FB ad Install button which takes the user to the App Store, the deep link is not found when the app launches.

This is my code in React Native to detect the deep link:

Linking.getInitialURL().then((url) => {
    if(url){
        if(url.includes('free_marilyn_monroe=true')){
            // Deep link detected code
    }
    }
    // ...

This is my AppDelegate.m file code:

Am I detecting the deep link wrong? Please help!
