Deep links without a custom scheme not working on Android

Expo SDK
1
  1. SDK Version: 35
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android

I have set up intentFilters as instructed in the docs, I tried testing with Expo in dev mode (using the exp:// scheme) and it worked fine, but when I build a standalone app, install the app and try pressing a link with the matching url, it goes straight to the browser and disregards the fact it’s a deep link.

My app.json:

              "pathPrefix": "/recipes/*"
            },
            {
              "scheme": "https",
              "host": "*.app.imaot.co.il",
              "pathPrefix": "/tips/*"
            },
            {
              "scheme": "https",
              "host": "*.app.imaot.co.il",
              "pathPrefix": "/questions/*"
            },
            {
              "scheme": "https",
              "host": "*.app.imaot.co.il",
              "pathPrefix": "/cookbooks/*"
            },
            {
              "scheme": "https",
              "host": "*.app.imaot.co.il",
              "pathPrefix": "/articles/*"
            }
          ],
          "category": [
            "BROWSABLE",
            "DEFAULT"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

I solved the issue by replacing the data array with an object, removing the *. prefix to the host and eliminating pathPrefix entirely
