Follow instructions on the following page to associate your Godot app with your web domain:

Installation

There are 2 ways to install the Deeplink plugin into your project:

  • Through the Godot Editor's AssetLib
  • Manually by downloading archives from Github

Installing via AssetLib

Steps:

  • search for and select the Deeplink plugin in Godot Editor
  • click Download button
  • on the installation dialog...
    • keep Change Install Folder setting pointing to your project's root directory
    • keep Ignore asset root checkbox checked
    • click Install button
  • enable the addon via the Plugins tab of Project->Project Settings... menu, in the Godot Editor
  • enable the plugin via the iOS section of Project->Export... menu, in the Godot Editor

Installing manually

Steps:

  • download release archive from Github
  • unzip the release archive
  • copy to your Godot project's root directory
  • enable the addon via the Plugins tab of Project->Project Settings... menu, in the Godot Editor
  • enable the plugin via the iOS section of Project->Export... menu, in the Godot Editor

Usage

  • Add Deeplink nodes to your scene per URL association and follow the following steps:
    • set the required field on each Deeplink node
      • scheme
      • host
      • path prefix
    • note that scheme, host, and path prefix must all match for a URI to be processed by the app
      • leave path prefix empty to process all paths in host
  • register a listener for the deeplink_received signal
    • process url, scheme, host, and path data from the signal
  • alternatively, use the following methods to get most recent deeplink data:
    • get_link_url() -> full URL for the deeplink
    • get_link_scheme() -> scheme for the deeplink (ie. 'https')
    • get_link_host() -> host for the deeplink (ie. 'www.example.com')
    • get_link_path() -> path for the deeplink (the part that comes after host)
  • additional methods:
    • is_domain_associated(a_domain: String) -> returns true if your application is correctly associated with the given domain on the tested device

Testing

adb shell command can be used to simulate app links as follows:

  • $> adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -c android.intent.category.BROWSABLE -d "https://www.example.com/mydata/path"

Running demo

  • After exporting demo application to an Xcode project, Xcode will require an account to be added.
    • Add an account via Xcode->Settings...->Accounts
