# Deep Links for published apps {% hint style="warning" %} Please note that Firebase Dynamic Links are now deprecated and should not be adopted in new projects that don't already use it. We have implemented an alternative using which works in a very similar way. {% endhint %} ### Requirements * A Dynalinks account. * A ready to publish or published app * For iOS, it is needed to [have completed step 2](/app-publication/publishing-your-app/ios-publication-complete-process/generate-certificates-appids-and-provisions.md) of the iOS publishing process. The app doesn't need to be published, only created in **App Store Connect**. * For Android, it is needed to [have completed steps 1 and 4](/app-publication/publishing-your-app/android-publication-complete-process.md) of the Android publishing process. In case you're about to publish your app to the stores or test it with Testflight / debug APK, you can generate a deep link targeting it. {% hint style="warning" %} Make sure you **set this up before generating the app bundles (IPA / AAB) and making your app public**. Otherwise you will need to upload an update to the stores, requiring all your users to update the app on their phones. {% endhint %} ### Step 1: Create an app in Dynalinks If you don't have any app created in Dynalinks yet, follow the next steps: 1. Register your app in the [Dynalinks Console](https://dynalinks.app/console) 2. For Android: 1. Upload your SHA-256 fingerprint 2. Add Package Id 3. For Ios: 1. Add Bundle Identifier – You’ll find this in your **Xcode project settings**. 2. Add Team ID – Locate it in your [Apple Developer account](https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/profile/) under **Provisioning Profiles**. 3. Add App Store ID – Found in your app’s App Store URL, e.g.:\ `https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yourapp/id**123456789**` {% tabs %} {% tab title="iOS" %} 1. Enter your **`Bundle ID`** and **`App Store ID`**. Remember you need to complete [step 2 of the publishing process](/app-publication/publishing-your-app/ios-publication-complete-process/generate-certificates-appids-and-provisions.md) to have these parameters ready. **Where do I find the final Bundle ID (for iOS)?**\ \ When you have the necessary files for publication, use the same **Bundle ID** from the Bravo publication form for the final Firebase file. (Check how to [set up the Bundle ID](https://docs.bravostudio.app/app-publication/publishing-your-app/ios-publication-complete-process) on the app publication process) 2. Enter the **`Team ID`** on the Apple app you have just created. You can find this on the Apple developer portal, under the [Identifier of your app](https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/identifiers/list), as *App ID Prefix.* Then **Save**. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Android" %} 1. Enter your **`Android Package`** name. Remember you need to [have completed steps 1 and 4](/app-publication/publishing-your-app/android-publication-complete-process.md) of the Android publishing process to have these parameters ready. **Where do I find the final package name (for Android)?**\ \ In the Publish tab of your app project, go to **Android** > **Publication**. 2. Get the SHA256 code from the **build history** of your app on Bravo Studio:
{% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Step 2: Complete Firebase Settings in Bravo 1. Go back to **Bravo** -> **Your app** -> **Integrations** -> **Deep Links** -> **Dynalinks Settings** ![](/files/9a1PNqe47OaUvDK9IoMM) 1. Complete the following data: 1. Domain - Dynalinks Domain 2. API Key - Dynalinks API Key 3. IOS Bundle ID - as mentioned above 4. Android Package Name - as mentioned above
2. Once you've set these values, click **Save**. ### Step 3: Generate the Deep Link Finally, go to the [**Generate links**](/integrations/deep-links.md#generate-a-deep-link) section, fill in the following values: * **Deep Link Name**: The name for the deep link you'll generate. You can use any name you prefer. Later on, the latest generated deep links will appear in the panel, identified with the name you set here. * **URL copied from Bravo Vision**: Here, specify the app page you want to target with the deep link. To get this URL, you need to open the app in Bravo Vision, go to the desired page, long press, and select **`Copy page URL`**, as indicated [here](/integrations/push-notifications/how-to-get-a-bravo-page-url.md). * **URL to open from Desktop**: In case the deep link is opened from a desktop device instead of a mobile phone, the URL specified here will be opened. You can set it to whatever webpage you wish. Remember to provide the **complete webpage URL** (including `https://`).
4. Click on **`Create live app link`** button and your deep link is created! :tada: {% hint style="warning" %} If you already have a published app bundle, and you change these settings afterwards, you'll need to generate a new bundle and publish an update to the stores. {% endhint %} ### Step 4: Test your Deep Link Once generated, you'll obtain a deep link that you can test on a mobile device with the target app installed. You'll find the list of deep links generated right under.
From this screen, you'll be able to: * **Copy the Deep Link URL to the Clipboard** in a Notes app and open the Deep Link URL from a mobile device. You can also test using opening the link from the browser address bar of a desktop, the URL to open from Desktop will be shown in this case. * #### Scan a QR code to test your deep link with a mobile device.
