Intro to Deep Linking on Android

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

Branch explains how Branch links unify Facebook App Links, Chrome intents, URI schemes and Android App Links to open specific content even when the app is not installed by redirecting to Play Store then restoring key value pairs. Integrations include one‑click Fabric install or manual Gradle + manifest changes, intent filters and an onStart session init that returns JSON params. Links use Branch Universal Object + generateShortUrl with three retries, support desktop → SMS via Twilio, an analytics-enabled share sheet, Google indexing and view registration.
