157240716: Question/FR: Firebase Dynamic Links "socialmeta.page.link"

[READ] Guidelines

Feature proposal

• Firebase Component: Firebase Dynamic Links

When sharing a firebase dynamic link to slack, "socialmeta.page.link" and the firebase logo is visible in the link preview. Is it possible to customize or remove this?

Adding social meta params to link builder like so, then using the shorten to produce final url that is shared:

linkBuilder.socialMetaTagParameters = DynamicLinkSocialMetaTagParameters()
linkBuilder.socialMetaTagParameters?.title = title
linkBuilder.socialMetaTagParameters?.imageURL = imageUrl

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

iirc it's supposed to display your app icon, though I'm not sure where this gets specified. @dmandar can you clarify?

I'll update the docs here once we get an answer.

@dmandar looks like you may have meant @maxzhouus ?

[emanuel-lundman]

no updates on this? and no one has a solution/workaround?

[diegoveloper]

Any news about this issue? :/

[eldhosembabu]

Seems like a feature request. Will pass the internal bug (b/157240716)to product team to prioritize.

[eldhosembabu]

Also could you please share a sample FDL link for us to check where you have used the social meta tag parameters

[joyt]

@eldhosembabu Here's an example: https://par.tf/5wa4 (see below screenshot of the preview looks like on Slack) - note that there is no iOS or Android app to deep link into here, it's just used as a short link to a web page.

As you can see, the social meta tags with title, description, & image are set but unfortunately also the Firebase logo and "socialmeta.page.link" text. It would be great if there were a way to customize whatever meta tags are being auto-generated here.

@morganchen12 any follow up on this issue? Thanks

[campey]

This also occurs from me when creating links from the firebase console. [https://console.firebase.google.com/project/[project-name]/durablelinks/links/]

Found this thread when looking up the issue, so thought to share to perhaps help in resolution.

[oggam]

Same issue on my side, any updates?

I also have a similar issue. The issue is not only from the Firebase Android or iOS SDK. This issue is actually with all the Firebase dynamic links and Slack.

if you are having the domain from .page.link then it shows that domain but if you have a custom domain then it shows the socialmeta.page.link.

[tzvc]

Any updates on this ? Having the same issue ? (when link generated on Android as well)

[tomasz-ludek]

Any update? (the same issue here, for the custom domain)

[voduku]

Hi, I found out that this happens because whenever you put in socialMetaData, firebase will generate a new html for you which is why it is should a diff icon and url. If you wants to fix this, exclude socialMetadata when create your dynamic link and add the metadata tag or handle it via dynamic link sdk in your actual website

@deepak786 @theochampion @tomasz-ludek

[luanccp]

Any news about how to update the icon?

[GlebMaltsev]

Any ETA when this will be fixed?

[echo3Dco]

Any update on the icon fix?

[caoer]

same ask here

[MGGranny]

Any updates? This issue makes the link look unfinished, because it can't be branded completely.

[alon-grinshpoon]

Same ask here! Any update on this?

[paulb777]

@eldhosembabu Would you take a look?

[d3xt3r2909]

Same thing, also it should be clear that this is not platform-related its same thing for android SDK

Hey everyone, sorry for the late revert. We'd like to confirm if the issue is happening on Slack only?

[Tom3652]

I have tried iMessage, Discord, Whatsapp and slack and it's happening on Slack only for these social networks. Edit : I have also tried Messenger and LinkedIn it works fine.

[cvlos]

Hello everyone 👋

I looked into this and I believe the issue is on Slack side. Specifically Slack not respecting <meta property="og:url" as mentioned on the Ope Graph Protocol. I have followed up with Slack regarding this and they are looking into it. Will keep this chat updated it with any progress.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[spinapplications]

I'm seeing this issue in Android's Messages app too, i.e. socialmeta.page.link replacing the domain name.

[cvlos]

@spinapplications thanks for your input. Could you share an FDL link which could reproduce this issue?

Thanks

[spinapplications]

@cavalos0086 Thank you for looking into this.

Here is an example link: https://whenavailable.com/event/zFfVT2etsoXqoTuV6

And here is how it appears in the Messages app on my Android:

[spinapplications]

@cavalos0086 any thoughts?

[cvlos]

@spinapplications sorry for the late reply. I was able to reproduce the issue yesterday. I will take a look today and follow up with updates.

[cvlos]

@spinapplications Have you notice if this has worked correctly in the pass?

[spinapplications]

@cavalos0086 No, I have not seen this work in the past. When using the socialMetaTag object in building the dynamic link the message always shows socialmeta.page.link, instead of the domain.

[cvlos]

@spinapplications After checking, the issue seems to be on the Messaging app. I have created a bug for it but no ETA on when it would be fixed. I will update this chat whenever I get any updates.

[spinapplications]

@cavalos0086 Thanks for the update.

[michelleyin96]

Any update here? @cavalos0086

[cvlos]

@michelleyin96 Sorry no new updates on this. Both teams have been notified and there seems to be so misalignment on the response as I commented before. https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/5333#issuecomment-1205868785

I will add any new updates here.

[aditya-arre]

Any update on this issue?

[gemyago]

This is still happening, any plans to fix it?

[nijilrajkr]

Any update on this ??

[DamilolaDami]

wow no fix yet I still get this issue where sometimes it displays and sometimes it does not

[paulb777]

Now that Firebase DynamicLinks is planned to shut down, closing its feature requests.
