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?
First, open Xcode, go to Project settings -> capabilities. Scroll down to Associated Domains and turn it on. Once it is enabled, we shall add any URL that implements our apple-app-site-association resource, preceded by app links. Inside the Domains section, add a applinks:myApp.com.
Deep Linking is a powerful technology developed in the digital marketing sector that allows users to be redirected within a specific landing page, bypassing homepages and other intermediate pages. Deep Linking also works within the Mobile Apps.
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.
