I'm trying to replace firebase dynamic link with flow links.

Flow links works:

but not working:

I'm refering to flow when app is not installed https://mobikul.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/firebase_dynamic_link.png

I see -- you are referring to deferred links. Unfortunately, due to platform restrictions from Apple, deferred links have become nearly impossible to implement without collecting sensitive user information. These and other limitations are one of the main reasons for Firebase shutting down Dynamic Links.

With that said, FlowLinks, unfortunately, currently don't support deferred links. However, I am exploring different options and will be sure to make an update if I come up with a good implementation!

Thank you for your response. Do you have any estimate of when this feature might be available?

Cannot say for sure for iOS, as it fully depends on Apple.

For Android, a frontend Google Play Install Referrer API exists, which can help you send data from GooglePlay to the newly installed application.

Closing this issue until further development.
