How to catch universal links after redirection?


The point is that I corectly set up universal links for my domain: example.com. And if within other or system app I tap on the link:

http://www.example.com/first/second then my app is being opened:) it just works.

But my links are linked to other domain otherdomain.com which redirects to example.com. And it is not going to work. What is the way to workaround this?

Is it possible to make it working withount removing redirection?


Solution

  • iOS considers what to do immediately after a link is tapped. If app exists, and the domain allow associated app to be opened via link, the app is being opened. There is no way to catch redirection.

    First direct link is considered as not to be opened via app, and iOS does not track what is going on later. It doesn't care about redirections in context of universal links.
