android-branch-deep-linking-attribution: Android - Deep linking not working in chrome

Hi, I have integrated the branch.io SDK with my android app. I created the deep link URL with custom URI scheme(drbond://) in the dashboard. When clicking the deep link from a mobile browser it takes me to the app(If installed). But in chrome, it doesn’t. I tried with Opera, Mozilla, and other default browsers are working fine. Please help me to deep linking working in chrome.

FYI, My activity intent filter,

<intent-filter>
               <data android:scheme="drbond"  android:host="open" />
               <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
               <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
               <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
</intent-filter>

Wouldn’t it make sense to provide a link to the support ticket so that others with the same issue can benefit as well?

Hey @miankhalid – Sorry for the headache! We are currently revamping our entire docs portal, custom URL is mentioned in our new flow. I will review it to make sure things are clear and if not I’ll submit a PR. Thanks for letting me know, we want this process to be as easy to understand/implement as possible.

Hey @chabislav – go to https://dashboard.branch.io/settings/link -> scroll down to your Android App settings and instead of “Google Play Search” select “Custom URL” and you’ll be able to set your app’s package name manually, it’s great for non-release build testing when you may have multiple build flavors. If you have additional questions and would like 1:1 attention, please write to integrations@branch.io and I can help out 👍

@EvangelosG This should be mentioned somewhere in the official integration doc, I spent a whole day figuring out what I was doing wrong 😢
