handleUniversalLink always return false iOS 11

[DennisMostajo]

Hi everyone:

I have an issue, I try to get the original URL https://bebler.com/email_code/12345678, testing the universal link on Firebase console is https://axd87.app.goo.gl/CF5F, but when I open the dynamic link on my iOS app the method "handleUniversalLink" always return me false and the userActivity.webpageURL logs me: https://axd87.app.goo.gl/CF5F?huid=UO12cAtyFjvBtBW4ehRI9A, my code is as suggest the documentation and the GitHub example:

 @available(iOS 8.0, *)
        func application(_ application: UIApplication, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: @escaping ([Any]?) -> Void) -> Bool {
            debugPrint("---> userActivity restorationHandler")
            guard let dynamicLinks = DynamicLinks.dynamicLinks() else {
                return false
            }
            let handled = dynamicLinks.handleUniversalLink(userActivity.webpageURL!) { (dynamiclink, error) in
                // [START_EXCLUDE]
//                let message = self.generateDynamicLinkMessage(dynamiclink!)
                let message = "APP URL:\(String(describing: dynamiclink?.url?.absoluteString))"
                debugPrint("---> message:\(message)")
                debugPrint("host:\(String(describing: dynamiclink?.url?.host))")
                debugPrint("path:\(String(describing: dynamiclink?.url?.path))")
//                self.showDeepLinkAlertView(withMessage: message)
                // [END_EXCLUDE]
            }
    
            // [START_EXCLUDE silent]
            if !handled {
                // Show the deep link URL from userActivity.
                let message = "continueUserActivity webPageURL:\n\(userActivity.webpageURL?.absoluteString ?? "")"
                debugPrint("---> message:\(message)")
//                showDeepLinkAlertView(withMessage: message)
            }
            // [END_EXCLUDE]
            return handled
        }

how can I force to get the original URL?, thanks!

Also having this issue, my app captures the URL fine (https://<my_app_code>.app.goo.gl/?link=https://www.test.com/?premiumId=123456&ibi=<my_bundle_id>) through Universal Link and Custom Scheme, but the DynamicLinks().handleUniversalLink() always returns false and never calls the completion closure.

@OleksiyA FYI

@DennisMostajo You are likely tapping on FDL from Google Hangouts or Gmail iOS Apps. The issue you are seeing going to be fixed in those Apps soon.
Also we fixed issue in FDL side. In M20.1 release (Firebase Dynamic Links version 2.2.0) such link will work fine.
Core reason here that FDL do not expect any parameters in FDL short link, but here parameter huid is being added.

@edulpn You issue seems unrelated to original poster's issue. Your link looks broken as there two question mark characters in the link. As a debug try to navigate to https://<my_app_code>.app.goo.gl/?link=https://www.test.com/?premiumId=123456&ibi=<my_bundle_id>&d=1 Here verify that what is being displayed is what you actually expect.
If that does not help, please open separate Github issue or Firebase support ticket. Also take at stackoverflow questions for Firebase Dynamic Links https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/firebase-dynamic-links .

@OleksiyA What is the ETA of M20.1 release (Firebase Dynamic Links version 2.2.0) ? We have a feature that needs to go out asap.

Thanks!
