Guide to create a whitelist pattern for Dynamic Links

[Naren Keshav]

Target Platform : iOS & Android

Dev Platform : Unity3D

 

Base URL Prefix is : https://mani.games/view/

 

My intention is to create a Dynamic Link with path length Unguessable.

[https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/unity/namespace/firebase/dynamic-links#namespace_firebase_1_1_dynamic_links_1afe4f24b8500b4f05ca178978b793b374]

 

Every time I create, I get a warning

 

There is no configuration to prevent phishing on this domain https://mani.games/view. Setup URL patterns to whitelist in the Firebase Dynamic Links console. [https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/9021429]

 

When I create, I get a dynamic link like https://mani.games/view/kHKjJgduPdgViW9G9

 

My fallback URL will be added when the app is published.

 

What should the regex be? My experience with regex & whitelisting is quite minimal.

Could someone guide/help me?

Thank you.

I think that you should be able to enter:

^https://mani\.games/view/.*$

And have a good pattern. A quick breakdown:

`^` means "the start of the line"
`.` actually means match any character. So you have to type `\.` to say "match a period"
`*` means "match the previous item 0 to many times."

`$` means "this is the end of the line"

So the full interpretation is "match the beginning of the line then 'https://mani', match an actual '.', 'games/view/', match any number of extra elements (such as the string of numbers and letters for the dynamic link), and finally find the end of the line".

Let me know if that helps,

They also mentioned URL the respective stores (iOS & Android).

1. Do I have to mention such a regex pattern?
2. Is it mandatory?

Thank you
