custom url schema support

[gregavola]

is there a way to use this plugin to support both'urlschema:// and http://XXX.app.link formats?

Fir example if someone goes to urischema://go/here, it would be called in the Branch.initSession area?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

Both URI Schemes (urlschema://) and Branch Deep Links (http://XXX.app.link) will open your app. However, you can only pass data and view analytics (clicks/installs/opens) with Branch Deep Links. URI Schemes will not pass data into Branch.initSession().

Thanks,

Side note:

I've talked internally within my team to make this a feature request. This would make URI Schemes pass data into Branch.initSession(). For example. branchswift30://?ll=37.44469,-122.15971&z=10 would pass data into into Branch.initSession() as { "+non_branch_link": "branchswift30://?ll=37.44469,-122.15971&z=10" }.

Since our Cordova SDK is built on top of our iOS and Android SDKs, this feature could take a while to finalize. In the meantime, the Branch recommendation is to continue using Branch Deep Links (http://XXX.app.link/xyz) for your deep linking.

Best,

We've pushed a backend fix for this today similar to what @ethanneff outlined.
