dynamicLink().getInitialLink() Retrieves Old Link When Opening App Without Deeplink

[lmas3009]

I am experiencing an issue with Firebase Dynamic Link.

I have a link that opens the app via a deeplink using dynamicLink().getInitialLink(). I can see the post related to the link. However, when I open the app manually again without any link, I still see the same post that was opened via the deeplink. This issue occurs only on iOS.

On Android, there is no issue; I can see the post that was opened via the link and also the general posts when opened manually.

I have the issue. Subsequent calls will return the initial link. This behavior is different from the similar function messaging().getInitialNotification(). This function returns data on the first call, then on subsequent calls the function returns undefined.

Anyone know if this behaviour is expected? And if the difference between function is intentional?

Unfortunately I don't believe there will be any further development at all on dynamic links, the module is deprecated, will cease functioning in august, and the only efficient effort to spend on it is to migrate away from it with any available related time

Thanks for the quick answer @mikehardy. Too bad, but I was already anticipating an answer like this. I'm going to search / make a fix via a fork and then make sure it has the same behavior as getInitialNotification.
