Does Firebase Dynamic Links works from a separated module?

[mihaicris-adoreme]

I am currently migrating from monolith app to iOS main target + several swift modules.
I have moved all the usages of Firebase to a dedicated moduleFirebasePlatfomLive(which imports the Firebase SDK) and a FirebasePlatfom interface module which exposes some public methods. FirebasePlatfomLive implements FirebasePlatfom.
I am facing an issue with Firebase Dynamic Links product which doesn't recognise the URLs with associated domains defined in the main target app (containing the Info.plist). (applinks:your_dynamic_links_domain)

This method always fails although I am sending a corect firebase dynamic link.

  if let dynamicLink = DynamicLinks.dynamicLinks().dynamicLink(fromCustomSchemeURL: url) {
    // Handle the deep link. For example, show the deep-linked content or
    // apply a promotional offer to the user's account.
    // ...
  }

Why is that? Is there a way to use Firebase Dynamic Links from another module, not from the main app target?

Hey @mihaicris-adoreme, how is FirebasePlatformLive linked? Is it static or dynamic?

[mihaicris-adoreme]

Hi @morganchen12, static.

From my knowledge there's nothing module-specific in Dynamic Links. @eldhosembabu do you know what could be going on here?

Ok, found the problem.

I was using a private property reference in the service class like

private let dynamicLinksService = DynamicLinks.dynamicLinks()

and use it later in a method like:

func ...() {
    dynamicLinksService.handleUniversalLink(url) ...
}

Debugging the code reveal some description for the instance DynamicLinks as uninitialised.
Using it as

DynamicLinks.dynamicLinks().handleUniversalLink(url)...

fixed the issue.

Not sure why it is not working in the first place.
Might be converted to an issue and closed.
Thanks
