@onufriievkyrylo not sure I understand this change, can you explain the use case here ?

@mderazon I have an app that have web, ios and android versions. I want to send link to some app screen in email and if this link pressed from not supported device like windows phone or desktop it should redirect to the web version of my app. is it clear?

I think that this is a special case and it's not reasonable to assume that people are going to have the same path across web and ios/android.

I do agree it would be a good design choice to structure your apps / website using the same logical paths but it is rarely the case as most people have legacy websites and have built new android / ios apps on top of them and the paths usually do not match.

@mderazon so don't you think that would be nice to add a new field for website path? or some flag to use ios/android path for web link. For me the possibility to have a link for web version of application is really so important.

I would prefer if we had it in non breaking way

I agree with @onufriievkyrylo . There should be some way to make the fallback url dynamic.

@lkelly-dev, @onufriievkyrylo using fallback query param does not work for you ? See here. It overrides the fallback from the options object.
