Deep linking to a specific Uber app screen - react-native

is there any deeplink in the Uber app that I can use to redirect my user to a specific screen within the app?
I saw this documentation but only refers to pickup and apply promo codes to a rider. I'm looking for some kind a app to app integration, that the user in my app has a button when clicked redirects to Uber add new payment method screen. I think the URL should look like https://m.uber.com/ul/add-payment, but i can't find this URL in the docs, if it exists

How to find out the deep linking path to all apps?

Linking.openURL(`whatsapp://send?phone=${phoneNumber}`)
Take one example, the above is the code to navigate user from our app directly to contact window on WhatsApp.
And now I'm wondering how to navigate user to my company page on facebook page?
Linking.canOpenURL('fb://profile/mycompanypage')
The above not working of course. And other than that, usually how do we know what is the url for us to navigate to the apps?
For example particular Youtube Channel or Vimeo Channel or Twitter profile?
For Facebook you can use these scheme
for Android fb://facewebmodal/f?href=${url} (url is the fb classical url you use in browser)
for IOS fb://page/PAGEID fb://profile/PAGEID you can find the PAGEID of your company page here https://findmyfbid.com/
The IOS solution is great when you don't have to generate the url on the fly which works for you i think. In a different case you'll have to use the FB SDK.
As for your other question: i generally go to the ressources website of the said app to find the right scheme for linking. But maybe there is a place where all those informations can be found ...
EDIT: IOS scheme was wrong

Branch (React-native) deeplinking is not working in FB messenger (Android)

I am using Branch.io to send users their credentials in my app. Since the app is not live yet, i am testing with everything on "live" in the Branch settings.
If I create a link from the app and send it via Slack or email, with the app installed then the app opens but if I share the link with Facebook messenger then the fallback url is used. EDIT:The fallback is the expected behavior on iOS, but i am working on Android.
I did find this which (1) is not very promising (2) is old (3) is not exactly the same situation since the links do work for me.
If you click the link from the Facebook Messenger app, then redirecting to the Fallback URL is the expected link behavior:
https://docs.branch.io/pages/links/integrate/#expected-link-behavior
Per the docs, you can still open the app using URI schemes or a Deepview.

Linking to app store review page in branch.io

Is there any way to create a link within Branch.io which instead of loading the installed app, would instead bring the user to the app's page in the store where the user could review the app. This would be used in email marketing.
Amruta from Branch.io here:
If you want users to be directed to a specific page you can make the links as Web Only.
For iOS: When you create the link specify the $ios_redirect to your App page on the App Store and add $web_only: true to your deep link data. The Branch link thus created will redirect to the web URL you have specified as the iOS redirect (in this case the App Store page).
For Android: When you create the link specify the $android_redirect to your App page on the Play Store and similarly add $web_only: true to your deep link data. The Branch link thus created will redirect to the web URL you have specified as the Android redirect (in this case the Play Store page).
PS: For Android, if you have App links setup for your App clicking on the link will redirect to your App irrespective. For this to work, you should remove the App links configuration in your App and the Branch dashboard if any.
You can check the list of possible parameters for configuring links here.
Edit:
1. Add the $web_only parameter in the Deep Linking section
Set the iOS and Android redirect to the App Store and Play Store URLs respectively.

How to do FB feed share post without leaving my hybrid app?

I am making mobile app using Sencha touch which will be bundled as native app and installed on devices. In my app on certain pages I want to add "share" functionality which is supposed to post some data to user's feed. While testing on browser I can to do that by opening a window with FB sharing url like "https://m.facebook.com/dialog/feed" or "https://m.facebook.com/sharer.php" and passing all related params as explained in https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/
But when this app is bundled and I share with this, user is moved to browser and cannot return to app because redirect_uri cannot point to app which is why I wanted to open this dialog within my app, probably in an iFrame. This is also not possible because these dialogs are not allowed to be embedded in iframe by META tags and in order to surpass it I have to do user login which again is another dialog which I cannot open in my app's iFrame.
I also looked at sample sencha app http://blooming-day-7830.herokuapp.com/ but it also takes user to separate login page instead of opening in-app dialog.
So my questions is how does hybrid apps connect with FB without moving out user to browser?
if you decide to use PhoneGap you can try the following two options. You will have to check for the iOS version before you switch your Phonegap call to. . .
Option 1 : for iOS before 6.0
Phonegap has a pretty nifty ChildBrowser plugin that you can use to load the FB share page without leaving the app for iOS 5.0 and below.
Option 2 : for iOS 6.0+
Facebook Share functionality has now been added to iOS. So all you have to do, is call a custom plugin class that you create, and call the standard FB share code using a basic Phonegap plugin call. You won't leave the app, the ChildBrowser doesn't have to show up, instead, you'll get the stock iOS-FB share sheet that will show up, you can add pictures, text, and so on, and post to facebook.

How do you associate a Page with an App, now that the migration deadline is over?

Here's the situation: I have a native iOS app that had its entry in created Facebook Developers before App Profile Pages were deprecated. There is an automatically created App Profile Page for the app, but when I view it, it has a yellow box saying:
Removing App Profile Pages App Profile Pages are now deprecated. We
recommend updating any links that you have shared to your App Profile
Page to point to your new target Page or app. Please save any content
or Insights that you wish to keep. This content is accessible via the

Before February 1st, there was a link to migrate this page to a regular Facebook Page, but now there isn't. I've created a new Facebook Page according the the docs, and the page has the same name as the app and the category is set to Products/App. But I see no way to associate this new page with my app.
How are we supposed to associate a new Facebook Page with an existing app?
So I ended up deleting my app on Facebook and creating a new one. This meant changing the App ID strings in my iOS app and in its URL handler, but now it works correctly, and I can create a normal Facebook Page for the app. If you have an existing app that customers are already using, that means you'll break the app unless they've updated it on their iOS device, and you lose everything on the old page.
To associate an existing Facebook Page with an App:
Go to your Facebook Page and click "Edit Page" section
In the Basic Information tab, set Category as "Brands & Products" -> "App Page"
Make sure the Page name is the same as the App name
Go to your Facebook App "Edit App" page, and now you will be able to choose the Page as the App page.
