Deep links on android without a custom url scheme

Expo SDK
1

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 45.0.0
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android
  3. Add the appropriate “Tag” based on what Expo library you have a question on.

I’ve been able to implement universal linking with iOS properly, but I can’t seem to get it working for Android. I’ve followed the guide at docs.expo.dev/guides/linking but still no success.

I’ve added the following property to the android section of my app.json:

"intentFilters": [
  {
    "action": "VIEW",
    "data": [
      {
        "scheme": "https",
        "host": "*.ngrok.io",
        "pathPrefix": "/d"
      },
    ],
    "category": [
      "BROWSABLE",
      "DEFAULT"
    ]
  }
]

I’m then creating a new android build, downloading the apk file, and dragging it over to the simulator.

I then run

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "https://mycustomsubdomain.ngrok.io/d"

However, the link just opens in a browser window. I’ve also tried creating the link in a chat window and clicking it, but the same thing happens.

I’m not trying to implement the auto verify. Presenting a dialog to the user where they can choose their desired handler is what I’m after.
