I have a react-native app running on android and the app link from the authentication email doesn't trigger open back into the app.
https://github.com/underscopeio/react-native-facebook-account-kit
the link from the email is ak{my-facebook-appid}://authorize/
and I've configured my strings.xml
...
<string name="fb_app_id">MY_FACEBOOK_APP_ID</string>
<string name="ak_client_token">MY_CLIENT_TOKEN</string>
How do I diagnose to make sure that my app is handling that deep link intent? I have the app set to singleTask because of the branch sdk - should I set it to a different mode?
So I found the answer in two places, initially I saw that you needed to update your AndroidManifest.xml by adding an intent to the account activity - as noted in the Addtional Email Features
section of the documentation https://developers.facebook.com/docs/accountkit/android/configuration/
<activity android:name="com.facebook.accountkit.ui.AccountKitActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="@string/ak_login_protocol_scheme" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
However, this does not work correctly as it can land you on the wrong step in the account kit activity flow. I looked at their sample android project and saw that the intent should be with the AccountKitEmailRedirectActivity
, at which point it started working correctly.
<activity android:name="com.facebook.accountkit.ui.AccountKitEmailRedirectActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="@string/ak_login_protocol_scheme" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
