Deep linking in Flutter allows linking directly to specific content within a mobile app, enhancing user experience and marketing campaigns.
It involves using traditional deep links, deferred deep links, and universal links (iOS) / app links (Android).
Deep links consist of a scheme, host, path, query parameters, port, and fragment to direct users to app content.
Android setup for deep linking involves adding supported hosts to the manifest, verifying domains, and testing deep links.
iOS setup includes configuring associated domains, adding URL schemes in info.plist, and verifying the iOS server for deep links.
Handling deep links in Flutter with GoRouter offers URL-based navigation and setting up routes for different screens.
To navigate to the deep link destination, metadata needs to be added in AndroidManifest.xml for Android and Info.plist for iOS.
Testing deep link implementation on Android and iOS is crucial to ensure navigation to the specific screen.
In conclusion, deep links improve user experience by providing direct access to app content, and GoRouter supports deep linking in Flutter.
The article covers setup, implementation, and testing of deep links in Flutter for Android and iOS, enhancing user experience and cross-platform consistency.
