SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Standardizes and accelerates the integration of deep linking in Capacitor-based apps, enabling reliable navigation from external URLs across platforms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Supports Custom URL Schemes, Universal Links (iOS), and App Links (Android) to open apps from external links.
  • Integrates with the Capacitor App plugin for handling appUrlOpen events, launch URLs, deferred deep links, and OAuth callbacks.
  • Real-world use cases include navigating to specific product pages, user profiles, or login flows directly from a link.

Quick Start

Configure platform-specific deep link settings and implement App UrlOpen listeners to handle incoming URLs.

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

To implement deep linking in a Capacitor app, configure platform-specific settings for Universal Links on iOS and App Links on Android, then implement appUrlOpen event listeners to handle incoming URLs and route users to specific application pages.

What is the difference between Universal Links, App Links, and custom URL schemes?

Universal Links and App Links securely associate your web domain with your mobile app to open content directly, while custom URL schemes use a custom prefix to launch your app but lack domain verification and fall back to web URLs if the app is not installed.

Can I handle OAuth callbacks and query parameters using Capacitor deep linking?

Yes, you can handle OAuth callbacks and query parameters using Capacitor deep linking by integrating the Capacitor App plugin to listen for appUrlOpen events and parse the incoming URL data for routing and authentication flows.

How do deferred deep links work in Capacitor-based mobile apps?

Deferred deep links in Capacitor apps route users to specific content after a fresh install by capturing the original launch URL and passing it through the App plugin's event listeners once the application initializes.

What is the best way to test external URL routing and navigation in Capacitor apps?

The best way to test deep linking in Capacitor apps is by following platform-specific verification steps to ensure end-to-end navigation works correctly, validating that appUrlOpen listeners capture launch URLs and query parameters across iOS, Android, and web.
