is there a way to verify Firebase Dynamic Links on Play Console?

I have a Firebase Dynamic Link on my app. Seems that Play Console can not verify these links by default.

Play Console

The indexing is fine since I can manually bind/add the App Link of my app through Android settings.

App Link

Since the website domain is provided by Firebase, which means I can not upload a Digital Asset json, would there be a way to fix these links in my console?

Solution

  • Debugging my dynamic link I realized that SHA256 was lacking.

    After some research, I understood it was required to copy the app signing key certificate into the firebase project. This fingerprint can be found under Play Console > Setup > App Integrity.

    Under Firebase Project Settings, add the fingerprint:

    Firebase Settings

    Hovering the Type tooltip, you will also find this message:

    Firebase supports 2 types of certificate fingerprints:
SHA-1: Used to create OAuth 2 client and API key for your app
SHA-256: Used for configuring Firebase Dynamic links

    Note 1: Also add your SHA-1 key, might avoid OAuth future problems.

    Note 2: Make sure you explicitly set android:autoVerify to true, on your intent responsible for filtering the dynamic link, thus your app link will be auto-verified once clicked.
