Android also gets a rewritten API via a new FirebaseDynamicLinks class, added through the firebase-dynamic-links:11.0.0 library, simplifying handling of incoming dynamic links in launched activities. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I create a Firebase Dynamic Link programmatically in an iOS app? Use DynamicLinkComponents with a deep link URL and domain, then set DynamicLinkIOSParameters such as bundleID and minimumAppVersion. Call components.url to build a long link, or components.shorten() to generate a shortened dynamic link asynchronously, handling any returned error or warnings before using the shortURL. _daily.dev surfaces SDK updates like this for developers wiring up in-app deep link sharing._ ### How do I add the new FirebaseDynamicLinks library to an Android app? Add the dependency compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-dynamic-links:11.0.0" to your build.gradle. This pulls in the rebuilt FirebaseDynamicLinks API, which replaces the older approach for handling incoming dynamic links and makes retrieving link data in your launched activity simpler via getDynamicLink(getIntent()). _Track dependency and SDK version bumps like this on daily.dev before they break your build._ ### How do I handle an incoming Firebase Dynamic Link when my Android app launches? Call FirebaseDynamicLinks.getInstance().getDynamicLink(getIntent()) and add a success listener that receives PendingDynamicLinkData. Check if data and data.getLink() are non-null, optionally start an upgrade flow via data.getUpdateAppIntent(), then extract query parameters from the deep link URI to display the relevant content. _daily.dev helps mobile developers keep up with SDK API changes like Firebase's dynamic link handling._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Dynamic App Links: Elevating your Android deep linking](https://daily.dev/posts/dynamic-app-links-elevating-your-android-deep-linking-ogoyxb2ug) · Android Developers Blog · 6 upvotes · 0 comments - [Why Your Deep Links Might Be a Backdoor](https://daily.dev/posts/why-your-deep-links-might-be-a-backdoor-upozvysop) · ProAndroidDev · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Deep Links in Flutter: A Complete Guide \(Universal Links, App Links, Custom Schemes\)](https://daily.dev/posts/deep-links-in-flutter-a-complete-guide-universal-links-app-links-custom-schemes--xps68ruji) · Medium · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#mobile](https://daily.dev/tags/mobile), [#android](https://daily.dev/tags/android), [#ios](https://daily.dev/tags/ios), [#firebase](https://daily.dev/tags/firebase) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/making-dynamic-links-easier-afjll15el) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Making Dynamic Links Easier","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/making-dynamic-links-easier-afjll15el","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/making-dynamic-links-easier-afjll15el"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:21:36.714Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:48:02.834Z","description":"Firebase announced programmatic Dynamic Link generation for iOS and Android SDKs, letting developers build long and short deep links from within their apps for...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7ed721de96163685d26ab7e314be3ebc?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7ed721de96163685d26ab7e314be3ebc?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Firebase","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Firebase","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--i395oqZH--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487448/logos/firebase-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/making-dynamic-links-easier-afjll15el","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"mobile,android,ios,firebase","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Firebase","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Making Dynamic Links Easier"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/making-dynamic-links-easier-afjll15el#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I create a Firebase Dynamic Link programmatically in an iOS app?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Use DynamicLinkComponents with a deep link URL and domain, then set DynamicLinkIOSParameters such as bundleID and minimumAppVersion.
