'Add a deep link to a text message

Trying to add a link to a text message that will link to open my app. The link is helloapp:// and when that is typed into safari it opens the app. I have used deep linking with React Native to achieve this.

When I insert that into the text it comes up as a string. Is there a way to link to the app with a link? Basically I want to create a hyperlink with this link helloapp://

I have tried link shorteners but it does not recognise the url and will not work.



Solution 1:[1]

I followed this to add Universal Link to the app.

Although in the new version of xcode. Adding the Associated Domains is done by clicking the + sign to left of capability when on the Signing & Capabilities tab.

This solved the issue without Firebase.

Solution 2:[2]

You need to use Universal Links. I prefer to use Firebase Dynamic Links https://rnfirebase.io/dynamic-links/usage
