📦 Platform Setup

🟢 Android

Edit android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<!-- Disable Flutter's default deep linking -->
<meta-data android:name="flutter_deeplinking_enabled" android:value="false" />

<!-- App Link support -->
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <data
        android:scheme="https"
        android:host="linkbridge.chimeratechsolutions.com"
        android:pathPrefix="/link/${your_app_name}" />
</intent-filter>

Replace ${your_app_name} with your actual app name or identifier.

🍏 iOS

  2. Go to Signing & Capabilities → Add Associated Domains
