I want to use google digital asset links feature for the purpose of opening a designated host link to open in a designated app on mobile devices, if the app is installed.
I have done all the settings,
1. uploaded assetlinks.json with package-name and sha256 key to the .well-known folder on root of host.
2. added meta tag in the manifest with android:name="asset_statements".
Even after successful verification i am not able to open a link from message inbox to my app directly.

how to authincate dropbox login into a website then make the user choose files to import.
I have Dropbox Javascript SDK. I just wanna know what kind of options available to do that.
I'm thinking of
1- authenticate the account dropbox of the user and when he selects the folder to import someway I download the folder into the website's host
2- The user share the link of the folder and then I download it with Curl into the host
3- Or can I share a folder and preview the content of this folder into the website
Overall the biggest concern is to save duplicates Uploads.
What are options to do such a thing using JS SDK or PHP.
Firebase is sending the password-less auth email correctly from my app via a 'Sign up' button, the 'magic link' in the email is taking me to my dynamic link domain, but I'm getting stuck at that point and the app is not being opened.
I've got an Ionic 3 application built for iOS using Firebase for the back end. I'm trying to implement Firebase password-less auth and followed this tutorial:
https://medium.com/#vivek040997/how-to-implement-firebase-email-link-passwordless-login-in-ionic-4-for-android-4c61f331c4a0
I've added my iOS app to Firebase, and in project settings, added the bundle ID, 10 char. app ID and 10 char. development team ID. The app has been created on App Store Connect, although it's not live in the App Store yet.
I've placed the GoogleService-Info.plist file into the root of my Ionic 3 project.
I've enabled email/password and password-less auth in Firebase.
As per the tutorial, I created a new index.html page (configured as a single page app using Firebase tools with some simple "logging in..." text) and ran '$firebase init hosting' and '$firebase deploy'.
I enabled Firebase dynamic links through my Firebase console, sticking with the simple 'my-app.page.link' domain.
I installed the Firebase dynamic links plugin for Cordova by using:
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-dynamiclinks -- variable APP_DOMAIN="my-project.web.app" --variable PAGE_LINK_DOMAIN="my-app.page.link"
I was sure to use the correct project app domain (from hosting) and page.link domain. My package.json includes:
"cordova-plugin-firebase-dynamiclinks": {
"APP_DOMAIN": "my-app.web.app",
"PAGE_LINK_DOMAIN": "my-app.page.link"
My config.xml file includes the correct values, eg.:
<platform name="ios">
<preference name="GoogleIOSClientId" value="my-value" />
</platform>
<platform name="android">
<preference name="GoogleAndroidClientId" value="my-value" />
</platform>
I also installed the Ionic native plugin:
$npm install #ionic-native/firebase-dynamic-links
The plugins seem to be working correctly as I built a simple page to capture an email address and send the 'magic link' email. That works. I'm receiving the email correctly.
When I click on the magic link on my iOS device (opens in Safari), I see a 'preview.page.link' page with my app name, a little checkbox saying "Save my place in the app. A link will be copied to continue to this page." and an 'Open' button.
Clicking that button takes me to my Firebase hosted index.html page with the "logging in..." text I added, but hangs there. The app does not open so I just stay in Safari on that page.
I'm stuck now :(
No idea how to debug this further.
Any ideas how to get the redirect to open the iOS app correctly? Thanks in advance!
I need to open a third-party app from my react native mobile app. I understand that this is called universal linking on iOS and AppLink on Android.
I have done a lot of research for this, and I have been able to set up a link to the third party app on the app store. Now I just need to get my app to open up the app if the user has it installed. That requires the URI scheme of the other app, though.
My question is, how do I get the URI scheme to this third party app? Rather, how do I get the URI scheme of any app? I know the URI scheme of the twitter app is 'twitter://app', but the app I am trying to link to is way more niche than twitter or other popular apps, so there is no help for this sort of thing online.
Any tips?
Finding the URL scheme of an iOS app
Due to Apple's tendency for secrecy, it's not easy to find the URL scheme of an iOS app. But it can be done. Here's how I do it, using a Mac app called iMazing.
Launch iMazing, select a connected iOS device, click Apps:
In the footer of the window, click Manage Apps:
Select the app you're interested in , then select Export .IPA menu item. Note: You may need to download the app first.
The saved file will have the .ipa extension. Change the extension to .zip, and unzip the file. You now have a directory with the name matching the app's name.
Assuming "asana" is the app name, open the file "asana/Payload/asana.app/Info.plist" in a text editor, and search for a section that contains "CFBundleURLSchemes". Assuming the app contains CFBundleURLSchemes (they are optional), it should look something like this:
The URL scheme is in the <string>asana</string>, so the complete url scheme in this case is "asana://". Test that the URL launches the app by typing it into iOS Safari browser window. If it works, Safari should display an alert like this:
What About Apps Without CFBundleURLSchemes?
I haven't found a way to launch apps without CFBundleURLSchemes directly, but you can link to the app's page in the App Store, where the user can open the app with the Open button (or Get button if the app is not installed).
You will need to obtain the app page's URL from the App Store:
Open App Store, go to the app's page, click the share icon:
Click Copy Link:
The URL will look like this:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/asana-organize-tasks-work/id489969512
Clicking on that link in Safari will bring up the app page in the App Store.
Maybe it is worth to start with some background:
There are various ways to deep link into an app, and it depends on the platform (iOS\Android\WindowsPhone...) and its version.
On iOS, up until version 9, the way to open an app was by using URI schemes, e.g. the one you added above: twitter://app. Each app declares the scheme that should be used. Therefore in order to deep link into the app you wish to open, you'll need to use the scheme that it declared. This is the same for Android until version 6.
Starting iOS9+, Apple introduced Universal Links as the method for deep linking. Here's some information: https://developer.apple.com/ios/universal-links/
In these versions, URI schemes won't longer work when using Safari browser (which is the iOS default browser) if the app is not installed. If the app is installed, however, URI schemes should allow opening the app, if everything is configured successfully. In Android there's a similar method called "AppLinks".
Having said this, the above information is for setting deep link for your app. I do not think that it is a common use case to open a third party app from your app - deep links are configured and used by the app owner (e.g. for publishing his\her app to engage users).
My custom domain https://mysub.mydomain.com is registered to Firebase Hosting correctly and I can create dynamic link with using my custom domain.But 3 warning occurs and IOS dynamic link is not open my IOS App.
If I use google default domain "xxx.page.link" , everything is ok.
The dynamic link has 3 warning(s)
We could not find Android package name 'xxxxx' in your Google project. Learn more.
We could not find bundle ID 'xxxxxxx' in your Google project. Learn more.
There is no configuration to prevent phishing on this domain https://mysub.mydomain.com/example. Setup URL patterns to whitelist in the Firebase Dynamic Links console. Learn more.
Issues about package and bundle should be fixed in firebase console project settings. You need to check that your iOS and android apps listed here have package name and bundle Id.
Last issue warns you about whitelisting your domains so that nobody could create dynamic links for you app passing links to random domains.
To handle it you need to tap on three dots near the add dynamic link button in firebase console and add all you domains (regex accepted) that can be used in your dynamic links.
I am trying to download (backup) images that customers upload for products that take custom logos (these are typically JPG, PNG, PDF, etc.) These customer files are downloadable by clicking on a hyperlink in the BigCommerce admin page for the order in question. The link is not a link to the image path but instead, a link to a service that sends the file to the browser. In other words, you have to be authenticated into the admin site to download the file. The URL looks like this:
https://mystore.com/internalapi/v1/orders/383945/products/251438/attributes/561518/download
https://mystore.com/internalapi/v1/orders/{order id}/products/{lineItem id}/attributes/{option id}/download
These are easily constructed in the API itself for a given order. If I use the link in a browser tab while I'm logged into the admin site, the file downloads.
But what I am trying to write an app to automatically download all the files (there are thousands). When I try to use this URL in an app, I get a authentication error. I tried at first using my regular API credentials but then used the credentials to log into the admin site. Both give me an authentication error.
I could not find anything documented on this so-called "internalapi." Anyone ever try to use this "internal" API that is used by the admin site?
I believe authentication is cookie based for that internal API, but there could be problems with using our non-publicly documented internal APIs in production, i.e. we may make future updates that would be breaking changes.
Images attached to orders through a file upload option also get copied to WebDAV, in the dav/product_images/configured_products folder. Another way to do this could be to use a WebDAV client library like easywebdav to connect and download the files.
