How to test firebase deferred dynamic link in case of app not installed.

[monika...@wynk.in]

Hi,

We are implementing firebase dynamic link and in our launcher screen, we have getDynamicLink listeners(addOnSuccessListener and addOnFailureListener), but how to test the data when app is not installed to the user. Since our playstore app doesn't have receiving code, how exactly to test it without downloading it from playstore. I clicked on the link, it took me to our app playstore page, then I downloaded prod build from browser and opened but obviously that won't do the trick. I won't get pendingDynamicData if not downloaded from playstore. But the strange part was I did't even get callback in OnSuccess or onFailure. How to go about it with this use case?

There are a couple of ways of the deep link resolving - one does involve the Play store referrer (if you hit "open" from the play store), but the other involves a different mechanism, via preferences. You should be able to resolve the deep link to the play store, then install your debug APK and open it normally to test the second option.
