Not Able to trigger onDeepLinking on the first launch.

[Dolar1]

Describe the bug As mentioned here in the DOC, in the onDeepLinking section,

• Does not provide af_dp in the API response.

But I am getting the below response in the DeepLinkResult, but this is only when the app is in the foreground, and getting nothing in callback if the app is killed. while testing deferred deeplink.

DeepLinkResult:{"status":"FOUND","error":null,"deepLink":{"af_dp":"xxxstaging://order-history","path":"","media_source":"appsflyer_sdk_test_int://","scheme":"xxxstaging","link":"xxxstaging://order-history?AID=105b6034-a5cc-47ea-add5-f1d6589fb0ed&af_android_url=https://xxx.co.id/&af_deeplink=true&af_dp=xxxstaging%3A%2F%2Forder-history&af_force_deeplink=true&af_web_id=653a63a1-8a78-4a7f-8d25-77191302be85-o&campaign=None&clickid=515b5c76-bef8-4b66-b4ba-5515ff3c0b4a&is_retargeting=true&media_source=appsflyer_sdk_test_int://","host":"order-history","campaign":"None","AID":"105b6034-a5cc-47ea-add5-f1d6589fb0ed","is_deferred":false}}

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. using appsflyer_sdk: 6.11.1
2. using flutter 3.10.4
3. integrated the SDK with onDeepLinking and used an in-app deep linking dispatcher to handle the navigation.
4. I kill the app 3 times as mentioned in the Run retargeting test from SDK Integration Tests, & get the above response (to note, I get the above response only in the foreground & not when the app is killed.)

Expected behavior Failed to navigate, while performing the test not able to get to the onDeepLinking callback itself if the app is killed, performed test multiple times. But navigates when the app is in the foreground only, that too using dp.deepLink?.clickEvent["af_dp"] & not using dp.deepLink?.deepLinkValue which is mentioned in the doc link here.

hey @Dolar1 did you manage to solve this issue?

[acacioveit]

@pazlavi do we have an update on this one? I'm facing the same issue here...

[Dolar1]

Hey @acacioveit yeah i managed to solve this issue i think Appsflyer team needs to correct the docs a little.

1. Scenario 1 [If you want to Use deferred deeplink]

• This gives us the Callback on first install of app lifecycle.
• Where deepLinkData stores the data whoch is given to us by appsflyer in this doc

_appsflyerSdk.onInstallConversionData((res) {
    var deepLinkData = AppsFlyerDeepLink(res["payload"]);
    if (_isFirstInstall(res["payload"])) {
      _handleDeferredDeeplink(deepLinkData);
      _trackInstallEvent(deepLinkData);
    }
  });

2. Scenario 2 [If you want to use just deeplink]

appsflyerSdk.onDeepLinking((DeepLinkResult dp) {
     switch (dp.status) {
       case Status.FOUND:
         print(dp.deepLink?.toString());
         print("deep link value: ${dp.deepLink?.deepLinkValue}");
         break;
       case Status.NOT_FOUND:
         print("deep link not found");
         break;
       case Status.ERROR:
         print("deep link error: ${dp.error}");
         break;
       case Status.PARSE_ERROR:
         print("deep link status parsing error");
         break;
     }
   }

 This is what i observed while integrating the same.
 
 If you need further assistance in integrating let me know

Thanks @Dolar1, my code was very similar to yours.

The problem was that I wasn't understanding correctly some part of the docs (which is very confusing) from appsflyer website.

I was calling onDeepLinking after initSdk.

Thank you very much for your time :)

You need to call onDeepLink before calling init.

@al-af I have same problem! When I click on the link and install the app, the deepLinkValue is null on the first launch, but when the app is already installed and opened, the value is filled in
