  1. I would say also for custom urls and deeplinks the https scheme is required, above all for Android devices, since most apps (e.g. SMS app) do not allow received URIs to be clickable without a scheme of http or https.

  2. Hi, I’m sorry if I’m missing something, I’m fairly new to both flutter and uni-links. Where did you set variable `mounted` and what’s the code inside function `getInitialUri` looks like? can you give me a link to the source code?

    Thanks

  3. How can redirect the user to playstore or App Store if the app is not installed, considering the fact that Firebase Dynamic link service will be discontinued soon.

    Any way around this?

  4. I am having the opposite problem: Rather than incoming links, I am trying to launch an external app using its universal link. My flutter app is a web app. In testing mode the link (to Uber in this case) works as expected, but when I publish the app the link does not work (on iOS). Any advice?
