Issue

await dynamicLinks().getInitialLink() works in debug mode, but doesn't work in release mode on iOS, on certain iPhones. Please not that the app does not crash, but rather null is returned by await dynamicLinks().getInitialLink() when it should be returning the dynamic link url. onLink seems to be working fine, haven't noticed any issues with that. It is confirmed not to work on iPhone Xs with iOS 12.4.0 (device) and iPhone Xs with iOS 12.2.0 (Simulator). I use preview page in my links. Tested both from Safari via preview page and from Messages/Notes app, but NOT through App Store. See testing matrix:

iPhone Xs with iOS 12.4.0 (device), debug: not tested iPhone Xs with iOS 12.4.0 (device), release: ❌ broken iPhone Xs with iOS 12.2.0 (Simulator), debug: βœ… works iPhone Xs with iOS 12.2.0 (Simulator), release: ❌ broken iPhone Xs with iOS 13.0.0 (Simulator), debug: βœ… works iPhone Xs with iOS 13.0.0 (Simulator), release: βœ… works iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 12.4.1 (device), debug: βœ… works iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 12.4.1 (device), release: βœ… works

This issue is critical because it affects a significant amount of the iOS user base, I think it might be affecting any iPhone X and higher users who haven't updated to iOS 13 yet (i.e. everyone but the early adopters) which is a very substantial percentage of all iOS users.

The issue might be releated to https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/1901, and if so the issue has failed at least 2 Firebase customers, who since have chosen to switch to branch.io instead. See https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/1901#issuecomment-469242110 and https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/1901#issuecomment-477839585

Android is working flawlessly as far as I've tested, with getInitialLink, onLink, install through Play Store all working perfectly. Only issue is iOS.

Code I'm using:

  componentDidMount() {
    this.init()
  }

  init = async () => {
    const initialUrl = await dynamicLinks().getInitialLink()
    this.setState({ dynamicLinkUrl: initialUrl ? initialUrl.url : null })
    console.log('dynamicLinkUrl', initialUrl ? initialUrl.url : null)
    Alert.alert('dynamicLinkUrl', initialUrl ? initialUrl.url : 'null')
    await this.authenticate()
    console.log('this.props.user.id', this.props.user.id)
    this.unsubscribeOnLink = dynamicLinks().onLink(this.onLink)
  }

  onLink = ({ url }) => {
    console.log('onLink url', url, Date.now())
    this.onDynamicLink(url)
  }

I am experiencing the same issue..

I have the same config as @noway and this is a very valid issue.

Hey @noway.. After a lot of tries, this set up got everything (even first open after install scenario) working for me. Can you check this out and let me know: https://medium.com/@ramakrishnan_89356/firebase-dynamic-links-for-your-react-native-app-ios-setup-only-c6e1f5a7944e

ram95krishh commented 4 years ago

@mikehardy Haha, thanks mate, that means a lot :D

noway commented 4 years ago

This does look like an interesting approach, I gonna need to try it out. Atm we just have broken implementation in production and we remedy it by just trigerring stuff we need on first sign up.

RWOverdijk commented 4 years ago

For me the issue wasn't solved with the code in that article. This is because I was using a custom domain and this hasn't been documented properly.

The solution for me was the default code from the rn-firebase docs and adding the custom domain to the Info.plist file:

  <key>FirebaseDynamicLinksCustomDomains</key>
  <array>
    <string>https://my.custom.domain</string>
  </array>
noway commented 4 years ago

@RWOverdijk I have this in my project and I still experiencing the issue. This is not just a configuration error, the link works from cold start in iOS13 just fine, the bug seems to be present only on iOS12 for devices without home button.

The most promising workaround so far seems to be using Linking.getInitialURL() alongside firebase.links().getInitialLink()

RWOverdijk commented 4 years ago

@noway Pretty sure that's not the case. Have you followed all the other steps? (capability and links in info).

Also, you need a release build (disable debug in build settings).

Update: Linking will work if you forward the results. But this will give you the short url (if you use those) which doesn't help.

noway commented 4 years ago

@RWOverdijk yes I have followed capability and Info.plist steps. It works for me on iOS13 in release mode on App Store, but does not in iOS12. This is clearly not a configuration issue?

RWOverdijk commented 4 years ago

It works for me on iOS 12 so I think it might be. But I did write a lot of native code for other parts, too.

Maybe your version of React Native is in need of an update? Or maybe I just did something else to make it work and I don't know what. πŸ˜„

noway commented 4 years ago

I'm using 0.60.5 as specified in the Environment section of this issue.

@noway you ever get this solved? Im still struggling with getInitialLink not working on iOS. Android works perfect. onLink works perfect on iOS. its just getInitialLink on iOS that wont. I am on RNF 6.3.4 (latest) and RN0.61.4

noway commented 4 years ago

@alittletf we just stopped testing for iOS12

Nehal-29 commented 3 years ago

@alittletf Did you find any solution to this? Facing the same issue

AkeleyUA commented 3 years ago

I don't know why, but if I manually build main.js and then try to use getInitialLink, it starts working. As a workaround. just an observation.

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

I'm still having this issue with devices on both iOS 14 and 13. I specified my custom domain in Info.plist.

mikehardy commented 3 years ago
  Any idea what could be wrong?

No - best course is to reach into node_modules and add print logging of all arguments prior to making calls into native Objective-C, then similarly inside the Objective-C add print logging of all arguments prior to making calls to firebase-ios-sdk APIs, followed by print logging of all return values as it goes back up from firebase-ios-sdk API return values to native Objective-C return values in javascript up to what you get.

That typically takes about 5 minutes to do (4 minutes to google "how to print to log from objective-c", if you're me, every.time. 1 minute to do it) and should show where expectations are not matching reality

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

@mikehardy Sorry, staring at Objective-C for 30 minutes has done nothing but burn my eyes. Is there a debug branch I could use or a list of line numbers I can use to paste the print statement?

I thought I could get away with ignoring this issue as React Native's default Linking + the dynamic links parse function works in nearly every other scenario. However, initial install requires Dynamic Links' fancy clipboard scanning which I can only do by using getInitialLink(). Again, it works fine in debug, but not on release.

mikehardy commented 3 years ago

// add this up at the top
#include <React/RCTLog.h>

// somewhere else in the file
RCTLog(@"Hello world"); // can log anything that can turn into a string, most of the arguments can be strings?

As an aside, I will say even though it may not be helpful - I just reworked the way my "interruptive navigation on startup" works (like, when the app is opened with a link, or by a notification) so I was testing initial links quite heavily. And on iOS in release mode, getInitialLink is working for me. I literally tested it just now and it worked - it is definitely supposed to be working...

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

@mikehardy

Have you tried the install-survive clipboard feature?

I meant I didn't know where/what to log in Objective C (RNFBDynamicLinksAppDelegateInterceptor.m and RNFBDynamicLinksModule.m) as I could barely understand where functions start and end, let alone which arguments go where/are relevant.

mikehardy commented 3 years ago

Ooo! I have not tested the install-the-app-then-the-link-goes-in scenario recently as my dev environment is "release mode" and has a full-fledged firebase back-end but is not on the app stores.

It seems like it should be here: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/f501fffbfc1baabe7fc7ed8185ad0c5be069134d/packages/dynamic-links/ios/RNFBDynamicLinks/RNFBDynamicLinksModule.m#L119

But this part may get caught up in things as well: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/f501fffbfc1baabe7fc7ed8185ad0c5be069134d/packages/dynamic-links/ios/RNFBDynamicLinks/RNFBDynamicLinksAppDelegateInterceptor.m#L49

I'd be tempted to log all over the place, personally. How exactly are you testing these things from the install? Do you manually install your release build locally after being redirected to the app store ... or? I'm in this area with my app (as mentioned) so if you had a set of steps you're using I might be able to follow along and confirm or deny links are surviving install for me or not

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

@mikehardy I delete the app, open the dynamic link, click the "open" button in the preview page (since that automatically puts a special link in my clipboard). Then when I'm redirected to the App Store (you can fake this by giving it an AppStore ID for Facebook or something) I click "run" in Xcode (set to "Release" since it weirdly works in dev/debug mode).

mikehardy commented 3 years ago

Have you tried it not running from xcode? Xcode automatically attaches a debugger which causes other problems (crashlytics test crashes, so may not apply but it is a difference from a real user experience)

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

@mikehardy The bug is present in the App Store version of our app. For example: https://links.relearn.fyi/1AmPCrhfw5qE7The6

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

Ooo! I have not tested the install-the-app-then-the-link-goes-in scenario recently as my dev environment is "release mode" and has a full-fledged firebase back-end but is not on the app stores.

It seems like it should be here:

https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/f501fffbfc1baabe7fc7ed8185ad0c5be069134d/packages/dynamic-links/ios/RNFBDynamicLinks/RNFBDynamicLinksModule.m#L119

But this part may get caught up in things as well:

https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/f501fffbfc1baabe7fc7ed8185ad0c5be069134d/packages/dynamic-links/ios/RNFBDynamicLinks/RNFBDynamicLinksAppDelegateInterceptor.m#L49

I'd be tempted to log all over the place, personally. How exactly are you testing these things from the install? Do you manually install your release build locally after being redirected to the app store ... or? I'm in this area with my app (as mentioned) so if you had a set of steps you're using I might be able to follow along and confirm or deny links are surviving install for me or not

I'm still not sure where to log here as I can't even tell what is and isn't a function call with arguments.

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

@mikehardy I started putting print statements in the ObjC and it seems like the function you mentioned (the app delegate interceptor) isn't even being run.

mikehardy commented 3 years ago

That would stand to reason if the link is not surviving, although as a negative test, it should run on regular app open or that indicates the wrong bit of control flow has been instrumented

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

@mikehardy So where should I put the print statements? Getinitiallink never works in production, always works in debug, but the dynamic links listener always works.

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

@mikehardy Also important, my app reads the users clipboard on first install launch every time without fail even when I don't call getInitialLink. What does this indicate is working correctly? Why does this happen even when I don't ask for it?

mikehardy commented 3 years ago

There is inf upstream in firebase-ios-sdk about the clipboard behavior, in PRs and issues I think, for privacy reasons around the ios14 launch

mikehardy commented 3 years ago

https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues?q=+clipboard - not an overwhelming number, very interesting reading

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

@mikehardy did it work in your tests? Maybe try it with a custom linking domain (that's what I'm doing).

Edit: getInitialLink works when the link comes from the Apple Universal Links API (i.e., when I cold-open a dynamic link after first launch) It doesn't work on first launch after install.

I was in debug mode. Oops.

Why on Earth would it work in debug mode but not release mode?

pedromarta commented 3 years ago

@zaptrem Were you able to find a workaround? I'm also experiencing the same exact issue.

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

Nope, I've been on break the past few days.

@mikehardy Any ideas?

mikehardy commented 3 years ago

None yet sorry - I should reopen it though! At any rate, my general take on it is that if a user goes to the trouble of following a dynamic link all the way through app install and the link isn't immediately connected, they'll likely try the link again at which point it will work. I want everything to work - but the failure mode is a success-on-retry so I haven't given it a lot of priority and I'm not sure I will have time to, sorry

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

None yet sorry -

Did it happen in your test build?

drencewicz commented 3 years ago

I followed the docs exactly and I'm having the same issue. The Dynamic Link redirects to the play store and dynamicLink.getInitialUrl() returns null on first launch after install. Works perfectly in Android though. I followed all of the recommendations earlier and nothing works. Is this an iOS bug and I have to find another way to do this?

mikehardy commented 3 years ago

I am unsure - this appears like it might be a firebase-ios-sdk bug but I don't recall if anyone did the native SDK reproduction attempt using https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-ios/tree/master/dynamiclinks yet

junioroga commented 3 years ago

I have the same problem. On android it works perfectly, both in the first installation, and with an app already installed (closed or open). But with IOS it only works with the app installed (closed or open). In the first installation, getInitLink does not return anything. I have already searched the internet on all google pages and found no solution.

I believe that the way is to wait.

pedromarta commented 3 years ago

@junioroga Did you try the following suggestion? For me, it fixed the issue of getInitialLink returning null on iOS 14.

For me the issue wasn't solved with the code in that article. This is because I was using a custom domain and this hasn't been documented properly.

The solution for me was the default code from the rn-firebase docs and adding the custom domain to the Info.plist file:

  <key>FirebaseDynamicLinksCustomDomains</key>
  <array>
    <string>https://my.custom.domain</string>
  </array>
junioroga commented 3 years ago

@pedromarta I tried, but it didn't work. I don't know if I'm testing the first installation of the app correctly. The getInitLink function works when the app is already installed, it doesn't work when I just installed the app and I press open on the AppStore and I'm redirected to the app.

One doubt, would the custom domain be myapp.page.link created there in the firebase console?

What is the correct way to test getInitLink on the first installation of the app?

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

@mikehardy Did this show up for you? @junioroga You say it doesn't work after first installation (same). Did you figure this out? Dynamic Links' getInitialLink() is completely broken in Release mode for me. I can work around it in most cases using Linking.getInitialURL() but that doesn't work on first launch since Dynamic Links has to read the clipboard.

drencewicz commented 3 years ago

After further investigation is I found that Firebase generated domains such as example.page.link link work after the app install, but custom domains for some reason don't. Custom domains do work if you enable the app preview page, but I don't want to use one because we've created a branded interstitial page to handle the app store redirect. I did add the custom domain to my FirebaseDynamicLinksCustomDomains array in my info.plist file, but it doesn't seem to matter. What is the myapp.page.link Firebase Domain doing that my custom domain isn't?

zaptrem commented 3 years ago

I have the app preview enabled and it still doesn’t work. getInitialURL doesn’t work at all in release mode, works perfectly in debug mode. I’m using a custom domain but I tried the page link one a while ago and I don’t think it worked either.

The same for me, any updates?

Did you try setting FirebaseDynamicLinksCustomDomains in Info.plist? That little detail sorted out my case.

FirebaseDynamicLinksCustomDomains

Thanks, will try in next release
