Opening iOS deep links from within the Facebook web view stopped working

All of a sudden deep links to my app stopped working from within the Facebook web view but they work fine when I open the deep link within Safari (or click share in the web view and choose Safari).

I added all necessary open graph tags for my resource and the app links as stated here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/applinks/add-to-content

Has anyone experienced the same behaviour since the new Facebook app update? Version: (34.0.0.36.265)

I'm getting the usual prompt if I want to leave Facebook but upon clicking it nothing happens and the device stays in the Facebook web view. I checked the scraper information on https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ but there are no errors reported.

Here is the URL/resource that gets shared and routes to the deep link (server might need to wake): https://www.qonnect-it.com/mexx

Any ideas?

I'm having the exact same issue with the latest Facebook app update, seems to be something on their end rather than on your app (or even mine).

I suggest going to https://www.facebook.com/help/186570224871049 and report the problem so we can escalate this issue quickly.
