Dynamic Links (Android App Links) not to prompt "open with" Android 6.0+

How do I make the setup in order for a Dynamic Link (from Fireabase) to open the app directly and not ask first to chose between the browser or the app.

I've set up Firebase Dynamic Links and added the certificate fingerprint sha256 to the firebase project settings. Selecting either options(browser or app) will end up opening the app, but it still asks.

As I read this is possible with Android App Links on Android 6.0 and over.

The intent filter in AndroidManifest.xml

<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:host="my-custom-subdomain.page.link" android:scheme="http"/>
             <data android:host="my-custom-subdomain.page.link" android:scheme="https"/>
</intent-filter>

Any suggestions?

I the issue was that press Link and Verify button in App Links Assistent.

For others facing similar issues, thing to check:

  • if the intent filter is added in manifest;

  • if the corect sha256 is added to the Firebase project;

  • if you pressed the 'Link and Verify button';
  • if you uninstalled and reinstalled the app with the new manifest

Well its hard to say without any code shown, but for that to work, you must set the android:autoVerify tag in your intent-filter to true.

Besides you need to deploy and assetlinks.json in the following direction> https://domain.name/.well-known/ where and you must do it for al domain that your intent filter supports.

The process is well explained here

PD: here is an example of an assetlinks.json

[{
  "relation": ["delegate_permission/common.handle_all_urls"],
  "target": {
  "namespace": "android_app",
  "package_name": "com.example",
  "sha256_cert_fingerprints":

  ["14:6D:E9:83:C5:73:06:50:D8:EE:B9:95:2F:34:FC:64:16:A0:83:42:E6:1D:BE:A8:8A:04:96:B2:3F:CF:44:E5"]
  }
}]
