Android intent filter with pathPattern matches in assistant but not work

I'm trying to make one app link to open our app instead the browser.

The app links Assistant tells me that the pattern works fine but when I try it on the emulator or physical device it doesn't work :(

Filter:

<activity android:name=".activities.AppLinksActivity">
         <intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
             <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
             <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
             <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
             <data android:scheme="http"
                 android:host="www.emagister.com"
                 android:pathPattern="/.*-cursos-.*.htm"

                 />
         </intent-filter>
     </activity>

Url to match: http://www.emagister.com/curso-avanzado-lenguaje-programacion-javascript-cursos-2863146.htm

Assistant message:

But when I open it on the device or click run test i doesn't work and opens the browser.

If I put android:pathPattern="/juridico-master-compliance-officer-controller-juridico-empresarial-cursos-3299291.htm" in the manifest instead the above pathpattern everything works perfect.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!!

Your pathPattern regex seems unnecessarily complex; I don't believe it's documented which regex parser is used here, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's somehow choking on this.

Try simplifying as much as possible and then add elements back (but as few as possible). I suspect pathPattern='.*cursos.*' would still get you the same thing.
