iOS 10 didn't work

[haxpor]

Branch works well on iOS 8, but for iOS 10 it didn't open the app even though I've installed it.

I tested on iOS 10 both on Simulator and real device.

hello @haxpor ,
can you provide more details in regards to the issue? (eg: Cordova version, Plugin version, steps to reproduce the bug, error logs, and etc.)
thanks!

[haxpor]

Here is info

Cordova CLI: 6.3.1
Gulp version:  CLI version 1.2.2
Gulp local:   Local version 3.9.1
Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.4
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.2
ios-deploy version: 1.8.6
ios-sim version: 5.0.8
OS: Mac OS X Sierra
Node Version: v4.6.0
Xcode version: Xcode 8.0 Build version 8A218a

I can ensure that I properly set up Branch.io dashboard, input correct branch_key, and uri scheme. I can see information of data object returned when initialize branch in code properly, and aligned with branch_key I use.

The weird thing is that whenever I test with iOS 10 either simulator or real device, it won't switch to the app (in case of installed app, then click on the marketing link).

Hello @haxpor,

Thank you for reaching out. Branch should work for iOS 10. I did the following sample app in iOS 10.0.2 and Branch Deep Linking is working.

Sample Test App

1) install

npm install -g cordova ionic;
ionic start t3 tabs;
cd t3;
ionic platform add ios;
ionic platform add android;
ionic plugin remove io.branch.sdk;
# values should be from your Branch Dashboard https://dashboard.branch.io/settings/link
ionic plugin add https://github.com/BranchMetrics/Cordova-Ionic-PhoneGap-Deferred-Deep-Linking-SDK.git --variable BRANCH_KEY=key_live_jnBhaHwt5K8xtn4g4hblHoleqsocI6C2 --variable URI_SCHEME=branchionic;

2) update config.xml

<!-- values should be from your Branch Dashboard https://dashboard.branch.io/settings/link -->
<widget id="com.eneff.branch.ionic" version="0.0.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
  <branch-config>
    <ios-team-id value="PW4Q8885U7"/>
    <host name="cluv.app.link" scheme="https"/>
    <host name="cluv-alternate.app.link" scheme="https"/>
  </branch-config>

3) update app.js

// global function
function DeepLinkHandler(data) {
  if (data) {
    alert('Data Link handler response: ' + JSON.stringify(data));
  }
}

angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'starter.controllers', 'starter.services'])

.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
  $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
    if (window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
      cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
      cordova.plugins.Keyboard.disableScroll(true);
    }
    if (window.StatusBar) {
      StatusBar.styleDefault();
    }

    // init Branch
    $ionicPlatform.on('deviceready', function(){
      Branch.setDebug(true);
      Branch.initSession();
    });

    $ionicPlatform.on('resume', function(){
      Branch.setDebug(true);
      Branch.initSession();
    });
  });
})

// ...

4) delete app off device

5) compile ionic

ionic build ios;

6) run on device through xcode

open -a Xcode platforms/ios/t3.xcodeproj;

7) click on a deep link in iMessage to open the app

• for example: the deep link https://cluv.app.link/6TOiVlCqXx can be created from your Branch Dashboard

Integrate Branch

I have a feeling your Branch configuration may be incorrect. For iOS 10 to work, you need Universal Links working. Please try the following guide to make sure you have Branch properly installed: https://gist.github.com/ethanneff/614e56fa3d3f98c03beaa07c66e6ccbe

Best,

[haxpor]

@ethanneff Thanks for suggested solution. I took a peek at the integration link. I might have to delete the app, before trying it again. I'll come back here once I have a chance to test it out.

Hello @haxpor,

If the above solution did not work, we have updated our SDK to fix the NPM issue. All you will have to do is update to the latest Branch SDK:

change xxxx's to the values in your Branch Dashboard

npm install -g cordova;

cordova platform remove ios;
cordova platform remove android;
cordova platform remove browser;


cordova platform add ios;
cordova platform add android;

cordova plugin remove io.branch.sdk;

cordova plugin add branch-cordova-sdk --variable BRANCH_KEY=x --variable URI_SCHEME=xxxx;

Thank you for your patience.

Best
