firebase-ios-sdk 157240716: Question/FR: Firebase Dynamic Links "socialmeta.page.link"

[READ] Guidelines

Feature proposal

Firebase Component: Firebase Dynamic Links

When sharing a firebase dynamic link to slack, "socialmeta.page.link" and the firebase logo is visible in the link preview. Is it possible to customize or remove this?

Adding social meta params to link builder like so, then using the shorten to produce final url that is shared:

linkBuilder.socialMetaTagParameters = DynamicLinkSocialMetaTagParameters()
linkBuilder.socialMetaTagParameters?.title = title
linkBuilder.socialMetaTagParameters?.imageURL = imageUrl

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

iirc it's supposed to display your app icon, though I'm not sure where this gets specified. @dmandar can you clarify?

I'll update the docs here once we get an answer.

Seems like a feature request. Will pass the internal bug (b/157240716)to product team to prioritize.

Also could you please share a sample FDL link for us to check where you have used the social meta tag parameters

Sep 08 '20 18:09 eldhosembabu

@eldhosembabu Here's an example: https://par.tf/5wa4 (see below screenshot of the preview looks like on Slack) - note that there is no iOS or Android app to deep link into here, it's just used as a short link to a web page.

As you can see, the social meta tags with title, description, & image are set but unfortunately also the Firebase logo and "socialmeta.page.link" text. It would be great if there were a way to customize whatever meta tags are being auto-generated here.

This also occurs from me when creating links from the firebase console. [https://console.firebase.google.com/project/[project-name]/durablelinks/links/]

Found this thread when looking up the issue, so thought to share to perhaps help in resolution.

I also have a similar issue. The issue is not only from the Firebase Android or iOS SDK. This issue is actually with all the Firebase dynamic links and Slack.

if you are having the domain from .page.link then it shows that domain but if you have a custom domain then it shows the socialmeta.page.link.

Any updates on this ? Having the same issue ? (when link generated on Android as well)

Any update? (the same issue here, for the custom domain)

Hi, I found out that this happens because whenever you put in socialMetaData, firebase will generate a new html for you which is why it is should a diff icon and url. If you wants to fix this, exclude socialMetadata when create your dynamic link and add the metadata tag or handle it via dynamic link sdk in your actual website
