Is onNonBranchLink() usable?

[chanphillip]

As the doc does not mention onNonBranchLink() and NonBranchLinkHandler() seems to be depreciated, I would like to ask if onNonBranchLink() is usable?
I've tried using it but the behavior is a little strange. It will be fired every onResume no matter if the app is opened through a deeplink (i.e. appname://).

If onNonBranchLink() is not suppose to be used, what should be the way to handle non-branch deeplinks? Perhaps using another plugin?

@chanphillip you can look in to this part of the doc on how to handle non-universal link.

Hello @chanphillip,

Ideally, onNonBranchLink() should never be called. This is a method to handle URI Schemes from other Cordova plugins which can interact with Branch URI Schemes.

When clicking on a Branch deep link, all deep link data should be retreived from the Branch.initSession(function(data) callback regardless of resume or deviceready:

Branch.initSession(function(data) {
  // read deep link data on click
  alert('Deep Link Data: ' + JSON.stringify(data));
});

Where you relying on the depreciated NonBranchLinkHandler() before? If so, I would like to know more (the steps, the use case, etc). It could be possible that the new onNonBranchLink() is not functioning correctly.

Best,

@ethanneff onNonBranchLink() was added as a request by me.

I needed to Deep Links that were not Branch links. I.E. my-scheme://home instead of something that Branch generated.

@chanphillip is asking how to use this SDK while still being able to send non branch deep links to his application.
