A deep dive into deep links
summary
Deep linking for the Xfinity app uses manifest intent‑filters, Android App Links with assetlinks.json at /.well-known/assetlinks.json and autoverify="true", ADB and the App Links Assistant to test, and TaskStackBuilder or NavDeepLinkBuilder to synthesize back stacks across activities, fragments and Compose screens. App Links break if the asset file redirects (302), Firebase requires the Dynamic Links SDK and returns data via pendingDynamicLinkData, and the alternative Play Install Referrer trick surfaces the original URL for up to Play Install Referrer (90 days). Metrics include clicks, installs and first opens via Firebase Dynamic Links.
