[Ask] Recommended way to distinguish app launch with and without universal link

[olszowka-cargurus]

My app needs to have two different behaviors depending upon whether it was launched as a result of clicking on a universal link or launched directly. Currently, the ondeviceready event handler creates the subscription to the universallinks event and also sets a 10ms timeout for the default behavior to begin. Furthermore, the universallinks event handler sets a flag which prevents the default behavior.

My solution appears to work, but feels kludgy to me? Is there a better practice? If not, I'm willing to update the documentation to clarify.

Follow up: The 10ms delay worked fine on an Android phone, but wasn't long enough on iOS. I upped it to 75 ms and then it worked on iOS. I would prefer a solution which didn't depend on any racing, e.g. a flag which could be tested in ondeviceready to immediately determine whether the app was launched using a universal link or directly.

I also have the same situation. Any answer on this?

I have heard nothing.

We decided to stop using universal links, anyway, so I haven't been pursuing it.
