Developing a small app in react native for both android and ios, where I need to open my app by clicking on a firebase dynamic link.

This app is not published yet in AppStore, right now it is in TestFlight environment. I never have any experience in ios so don't know how to check the dynamic link with TestFlight.

In the Android Beta Environment, it is working very well. I am able to redirect in play store if the app is not already installed. If installed then the app opens itself.

The same scenario I want to test in ios before publishing to AppStore. Currently, it is in TestFlight Environment and unable to redirect if the app is not installed.

I have gone through some post but no luck yet, posts are:

How can I test Firebase Dynamic Links if my app is not in the App Store?

Test Firebase Dynamic Links for Unpublished App

Can anyone please suggest how I can test with TestFlight or is there any other possible way to check my dynamic link working fine or not?

Firebase Dynamic Links will function when App is in TestFlight. Keep in mind:

1) User who tap on the link must have access to your iOS Beta App in TestFlight. I believe, to make this happens you need to invite user to TestFlight first.

2) You can specify "ifl"/"afl" parameter during dynamic link creation. See https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/create-manually . If this parameter is specified, the user will be navigated to your custom link, not AppleStore/PlayStore.

yes we can test app with testflight by testflight urischeme itms-beta://

itms-beta://

Note: i did not test but i think this will work. let me know the result of it. may be i can help you futher

  • Hi, I wasn't clear whether using the testflight urischem was intended to be different from using the custom link via ifl/afi? because I believe the testflight link is just https.... – satchel Dec 22 '22 at 03:06
