Deep links always open in app and system browser using Flutter 3.24.3

[noforeignland]

Describe the bug

After upgrading to Flutter 3.24.2 deep links on iOS open in both my app and the system browser.

Observed behaviour: Click on universal link opens the app. Quickly after that the native browser is opened with the link as target.

In my logs I see a warning "Failed to handle route information in Flutter.".

The warning points my to this Flutter PR which was recently merged and is part of 3.24.2: https://github.com/flutter/engine/pull/52643

See line 1885 of FlutterViewController where the warning is issued. My guess is that app_link does not return a success code here and that the framework passes the link on to the system browser to open instead.

Thanks for the quick response, that fixed it.

I hadn't understood the documentation and wondered why I would ever want to disable deep links when trying to get deep links working. Can I suggest rephrasing this line in the docs:

• From Flutter 3.24, you must disable it explicitly.

with

• In order to use this package with Flutter 3.24+, you must disable Flutter's deep linking mechanism as follows:

Thanks again. I appreaciate the work you put into this!
