facebook example deep link

Question

i am trying to create a deep link for my app on facebook.

All their examples have been written by people who like words a lot.

If my app url is a.b.c and the app is called c what do i put in the purple highlighted box to open the app? Note that i don't care about sending any data to the app - we are just going to open the app in the same way as opening it from the ... whatever it is called, when you press on the app icon.

how are there so many words used by the facebook team to say what to put here???

I'm suffering from the same problem, I read all what they have written and still I don't understand the flow of using deep linking, do I make a Graph API request with the link I want to share on a personal wall so I get receive a - what they call - deep link? I followed all their steps but still I can't get it working because they don't provide a full example to explain the flow of their logic / process. — Ashraf Alshahawy, May 25 '15 at 04:49

You need to look at creating a URI scheme for your app. You need to create one and add it to your manifest file (on iOS, to the plist).

See this answer for Android manifest: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2448531

Bonus: here's how you add it to the plist on iOS.

Then you type that same URI scheme into the box you see on Facebook.
