getInitialAppLink() not working on first iOS install from App Store

[evanwherchek]

Excellent work on this package :)

Describe the bug

My use case is users click on a link with a unique query parameter that will be used during sign up for my app. This operation uses getInitialAppLink(). Everything seems to be working in development when the app is installed on my device. The link can open the app and get the data with no problem so I try to put it on the App Store. Without the app installed, I click on the link, go to the App Store page, download it, and click continue. When I get to the point where getInitialAppLink() should be called, it doesn't get the data. But then when I close the app and open it again with the link, everything seems to work. This issue seems to be related to #14.

Does it related to

[ ] App Links (Android)
[ ] Deep Links (Android)
[X] Universal Links (iOS)
[ ] or Custom URL schemes? (iOS)

Does the example project work?

[ ] Yes
[ ] No
[X] Irrelevant here

Btw, does it work for you on GooglePlay first install?

I had the same issue, and found that there is a conflict with this package: https://pub.dev/packages/push

If I remove it, getInitialAppLink() works fine

Yes. Google Play first install seems to be working.

Same Issue . Any Update on this?

[llfbandit]

This should be somehow available in app_links 3.5.0-beta.1. Please have a look to the README file for custom app delegates. Feedback appreciated!

[aggeloskoutanis]

Doesnt work for me. Even with the app_links 3.5.0-beta.3.

This worked for me. Funny how there were no error/info messages. Thanks for the fix!

@llfbandit I have the same issue. Packages push and app_links are installed. When starting my app from a custom URL scheme the initial App link is never recognized.

Edit: misread the title. For me this issue doesn't occur on the Universal Links (I don't use them) instead it happens with Custom URL schemes.

[llfbandit]

If there's conflict with other package please refer to custom setup. If the other package always returns true, there's nothing I can do, I already provide workaround but if the other package is called before this one, this is a dead end.

[jkoenig134]

@llfbandit is this a bug by the other plugin? Should it return false?

[llfbandit]

Through Flutter, each iOS package registers as an application delegate to handle options at start/resume state. From here, we get multiple isolated delegates.

So, to propagate unhandled options (here links) to other packages, all packages must return false but the concerned package.
