crowdin
Remove uni_links from the project
The https://pub.dev/packages/uni_links package is almost deprecated - the last update was published 2 years ago. Since it is a transitive dependency in the crowdin-sdk, it causes some issues. E.g. for Android, apps cannot be migrated to Gradle 8.4. Are there any plans to remove this package and replace it with an alternative?
Hi @mkobuolys, thanks for the suggestion!
Are there any good alternatives to the uni_links package?

Well, I am not entirely sure what are you using this package for, but: a) Maybe you do not need to use any package at all and can handle custom deep links using a router, but... b) ... I assume you do not have any router in the package (since it's not UI-related). https://pub.dev/packages/app_links looks like an alternative for it. c) If you only use this package for a specific task, it should not hurt much to maintain this part yourself by implementing the native portion of the code.
As I can see, it is only used in the crowdin_oauth.dart module.
The methods used are parse, uriLinkStream.listen:

Uri.parse is a standard Dart core method, so you should take care of uriLinkStream.listen. It seems that you only need to be notified about deep links happening on the native side. Having this in mind, app_links should work (https://pub.dev/packages/app_links#applinks-usage). I think developers (or QA after the change) just need to verify whether the same information is provided, and you should be good to go.
