SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Implement deep links, universal links, and app links in Capacitor apps to enable seamless navigation from external URLs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deep linking enables routing from custom schemes and web links to in-app content.
  • Platform-specific handling covers iOS universal links and Android app links with proper entitlement and manifest configurations.
  • Navigation & testing provides event listeners and test steps for various link scenarios (cold start, background resume, OAuth redirects).

Quick Start

Install the Capacitor App plugin and set up 'AppUrlOpen' listeners to handle deep links, then test with custom schemes and universal links.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement deep linking in a Capacitor app for iOS and Android?

Implement deep linking in Capacitor by installing the App plugin and setting up AppUrlOpen listeners to handle incoming URLs. This enables seamless navigation from external web links and custom schemes to in-app content.

What is the difference between universal links, app links, and custom URL schemes in mobile routing?

Universal links and app links are standard web URLs that open iOS and Android apps respectively, while custom URL schemes use app-specific prefixes. Capacitor deep linking manages all three to route external URLs to in-app content.

How do I handle OAuth login redirects and cold start scenarios with Capacitor deep links?

Handle OAuth redirects and cold starts with Capacitor by using event listeners to parse URL data upon app launch or background resume. This ensures deep links correctly route users to authenticated in-app content.

Do I need specific platform configurations to enable universal links and app links in Capacitor?

Yes, implementing universal links and app links requires platform-specific configurations. You must set up proper entitlements for iOS and manifest configurations for Android to enable external web links to open the app.

How do I test deep linking behavior for custom schemes and universal links in a Capacitor app?

Test Capacitor deep linking by triggering custom schemes and universal links to verify event listeners parse URLs correctly. Validate navigation handling across various scenarios including cold starts, background resumes, and OAuth redirects.
