  • Paste deep link in Google Hangouts
  • Click on the deep link to open your app

Implement Features

Initialize Branch features

  • Loads Branch into your app
  • Must be called on deviceready and resume
// for development and debugging only
    Branch.setDebug(true)

    // for GDPR compliance (can be called at anytime)
    Branch.disableTracking(true);

    // Branch initialization
    Branch.initSession().then(function(data) {
      if (data['+clicked_branch_link']) {
        // read deep link data on click
        alert('Deep Link Data: ' + JSON.stringify(data))
      }
    })

Create content reference

// only canonicalIdentifier is required
    var properties = {
      canonicalIdentifier: 'content/123',
      canonicalUrl: 'https://example.com/content/123',
      title: 'Content 123 Title',
      contentDescription: 'Content 123 Description ' + Date.now(),
      contentImageUrl: 'http://lorempixel.com/400/400/',
      price: 12.12,
      currency: 'GBD',
      contentIndexingMode: 'private',
      contentMetadata: {
        custom: 'data',
        testing: 123,
        this_is: true
      }
    }

    // create a branchUniversalObj variable to reference with other Branch methods
    var branchUniversalObj = null
    Branch.createBranchUniversalObject(properties).then(function (res) {
      branchUniversalObj = res
      alert('Response: ' + JSON.stringify(res))
    }).catch(function (err) {
      alert('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(err))
    })

Create deep link

// optional fields
    var analytics = {
      channel: 'facebook',
      feature: 'onboarding',
      campaign: 'content 123 launch',
      stage: 'new user',
      tags: ['one', 'two', 'three']
    }

    // optional fields
    var properties = {
      $desktop_url: 'http://www.example.com/desktop',
      $android_url: 'http://www.example.com/android',
      $ios_url: 'http://www.example.com/ios',
      $ipad_url: 'http://www.example.com/ipad',
      $match_duration: 2000,
      custom_string: 'data',
      custom_integer: Date.now(),
      custom_boolean: true
    }

    branchUniversalObj.generateShortUrl(analytics, properties).then(function (res) {
      alert('Response: ' + JSON.stringify(res.url))
    }).catch(function (err) {
      alert('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(err))
    })

Share deep link

// optional fields
    var analytics = {
      channel: 'facebook',
      feature: 'onboarding',
      campaign: 'content 123 launch',
      stage: 'new user',
      tags: ['one', 'two', 'three']
    }

    // optional fields
    var properties = {
      $desktop_url: 'http://www.example.com/desktop',
      custom_string: 'data',
      custom_integer: Date.now(),
      custom_boolean: true
    }

    var message = 'Check out this link'

    // optional listeners (must be called before showShareSheet)
    branchUniversalObj.onShareSheetLaunched(function (res) {
      // android only
      console.log(res)
    })
    branchUniversalObj.onShareSheetDismissed(function (res) {
      console.log(res)
    })
    branchUniversalObj.onLinkShareResponse(function (res) {
      console.log(res)
    })
    branchUniversalObj.onChannelSelected(function (res) {
      // android only
      console.log(res)
    })

    // share sheet
    branchUniversalObj.showShareSheet(analytics, properties, message)

Read deep link

  • Retrieve Branch data from a deep link
  • Best practice to receive data from the listener (to prevent a race condition)
  • Returns deep link properties
  • Listener
// Branch initialization within your deviceready and resume
    Branch.initSession().then(function success(res) {

NativeLink™ Deferred Deep Linking (iOS Only)

  • Use iOS pasteboard to enable deferred deep linking via Branch NativeLink™

🚧

전제 조건

Make sure the underlying iOS SDK Version is v1.39.4+

To use this feature you must:

Implement one of the pasteboard opt-in options in the native iOS SDK code.

Create QR Code

  • Set your Qr Code Settings
  • Set your Analytics and Link Properties
  • Use getBranchQRCode() to create a QR code.
var qrCodeSettings = {
        width: 2000,
        codeColor: "#3b2016",
        backgroundColor: "#a8e689",

Navigate to content

  • Handled within Branch.initSession()
  • Branch allows you to pass any custom key-value from URLs to your app. Use this data to navigate to content, display a personalized welcome screen, login a user, offer a promotion, etc.
Branch.initSession().then(function(data) {
      if (data['+clicked_branch_link']) {
        // option 1: save to model to be used later
        window.localStorage['branchData'] = data;

        // option 2: navigate to page
        window.location.href = '#/content/123'

        // option 3: display data
        alert(JSON.stringify(data));
      }
    });

Display content

branchUniversalObj.listOnSpotlight().then(function (res) {
  alert('Response: ' + JSON.stringify(res))
}).catch(function (err) {
  alert('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(err))
})

Track content

branchUniversalObj.registerView().then(function (res) {
  alert('Response: ' + JSON.stringify(res))
}).catch(function (err) {
  alert('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(err))
})

Track users

  • Sets the identity of a user (ID, UUID, etc) for events, deep links, and referrals
  • Validate with the Branch Dashboard
var userId = '123456'
    Branch.setIdentity(userId).then(function (res) {
      alert('Response: ' + JSON.stringify(res))
    }).catch(function (err) {
      alert('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(err.message))
    })
  • Removes the identity of a user
Branch.logout().then(function (res) {
      alert('Response: ' + JSON.stringify(res))
    }).catch(function (err) {
      alert('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(err.message))
    })

Track events

  • Registers a custom event
  • Events named open, close, install, and referred session are Branch restricted
  • Best to Track users before Track events to associate a custom event to a user
  • Validate with the Branch Dashboard
var eventName = 'clicked_on_this';
var metadata = { 'custom_dictionary': 123, 'anything': 'everything' };
Branch.sendBranchEvent(eventName, metadata);

var eventName = 'clicked_on_this';
Branch.sendBranchEvent(eventName);

Track commerce

Troubleshoot Issues

Testing: Key Points

  • Need to select "app uses IDFA or GAID" when publishing your app
  • Best to enable Deepviews (Testing: Supported Platforms)
  • Mobile browser capability: Android 4.4.4+, Safari 8+, Chrome 32+, Firefox 29+

Testing: Optional App Config

  • Additional configuration for custom link domains, simulating installs, unique bundle identifiers, etc

Testing: Branch Analytics

  • Whenever a user clicks on a deep link and opens the app, and will trigger either an install or an open
  • installs represent Branch recognizing the app_id and device_id for the first time
  • installs represent new app users and the success rate of your Branch deep links
  • installs do not represent App Store downloads
  • non-Branch installs are installs outside of Branch deep link clicks
  • opens are non-installs
  • If a user uninstalls and reinstalls the app, this will be an open because Branch recognizes the device
  • If a user has the app and clicks a Branch deep link, this will be an open because the user is not new

Testing: Simulating an Install

  • Delete your app
  • [iOS] iPhone Device -> Settings -> Privacy -> Advertising -> Reset Advertising Identifier -> Reset Identifier
  • [Android] Add <android-testmode value="true" /> to your config.xml (Testing: Optional App Config)
  • 더하다 Branch.setDebug(true); before Branch.initSession(); (Initialize Branch Features)
  • Click on a deep link to navigate to your $fallback_url because your app is not installed
  • Install your app
  • Open your app
  • Read from Branch.initSession().then(data) for +is_first_session = true

Testing: Supported Platforms

<plugin name="branch-cordova-sdk" spec="^4.0.0" />

Compiling: Incompatibilities

  • The following plugins will not work with the Branch SDK

  • PhoneGap Build is also not supported by the Branch SDK because we need plugin hooks to enable Entitlements, Universal Links, App Links, and URI Scheme redirects but PhoneGap Build does not allow plugin hooks.

  • With both the 'branch-cordova-sdk' plugin and the 'cordova-plugin-siri-shortcuts' plugin installed, deep-linking breaks. This seems to most often happen when the siri shortcuts plugin is installed after the branch plugin.

    • Solution
      • Using a modified version of the AppDelegate+SiriShortcuts Category to include Branch. This version only works if both Branch and SiriShortcuts is present.
      • From within the Xcode workspace, locate AppDelegate+BranchSDK.m. Either remove it or ignore it.
      • From within the Xcode workspace, locate AppDelegate+SiriShortcuts.m. This is the file we want to modify.
      • Update AppDelegate+SiriShortcuts.m to call Branch SDK. This version should work when dropped in with the current release of both SDKs.
#import "AppDelegate+SiriShortcuts.h"
    #import <objectivec/runtime.h>

Error: Error code 1 for command: /gradlew with args: cdvBuildDebug,-b,/build.gradle,-Dorg.gradle.daemon=true,-Pandroid.useDeprecatedNdk=true
  • Solution

    • Don't use cordova, hyphens (Android), or underscores (iOS) in your bundle id (widget id)

File not found

  • Error
Branch.h not found
  • Solution

    • If that is the ONLY error you see, this can be fixed by upgrading dependencies. Ensure you are using version 4.0.1 of this plugin or higher and have updated your Xcode, Cordova, and other dependencies (listed below) to the latest versions. This error arose due to an inability in CocoaPods and cordova-ios to resolve dependencies that was later fixed.

    • Sometimes this error occurs when a build error occurs in the Pod project; since Branch is usually the first pod alphabetically, it'll show up as the error when attempting to build the main project (since the Pod didn't get built), even though the real error is elsewhere. Make sure to read your build log to find the original error that prevented building the Pod project.

Build fails with Pods

  • iOS build fails with Pods and CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR configured

  • Command-line builds result in the above error. Please see the section below Compiling: Capacitor for the full list of up-to-date dependencies needed for CLI builds to work.

Compiling: Cordova 8

  • Version 4.1.x of this plugin works with Cordova 8, but you need to add some fields to your config.xml file:
  • Cordova 8 does not correctly support CocoaPods, which the 4.x releases of this plugin utilize
  • This plugin can't include both versions of the pod spec, which changed between Cordova 8 and Cordova 9. We have chosen to include the Cordova 9 version.
  • In order to support Cordova 8's handling of CocoaPods, you must install an extra Cordova plugin to correctly incorporate our CocoaPod ("Branch" v.0.31.3 as of 2020.02.10)
  • Install the plugin cordova-plugin-cocoapods-support
  • That plugin does not add any code to your app, it is strictly a Cordova hook to create your Podfile before building your app.
  • Add the following lines to the widget/platform[name="ios"] path in config.xml:
<preference name="pods_ios_min_version" value="<YOUR MINIMUM VALUE>" />
<pod name="Branch" spec="~> 0.31.3" />
  • Replace <YOUR MINIMUM VALUE> with the minimum iOS version your app requires, e.g. "8" or "10.0" or "11.4"
  • Run cordova prepare ios again and ensure you see console output similar to
Searching for new pods
Checking config.xml for pods.
config.xml requires pod: Branch
Installing pods
Sit back and relax this could take a while.
  • Provided that the dependencies listed in the next section are up to date (see Compiling: Capacitor), you should also be able to do cordova build ios without issue.

Compiling: Capacitor

  • Version 4.1.0 of this plugin works with Ionic 4 + Cordova and Ionic 4 + Capacitor, with the following caveats:
  • We strongly recommend Node >= 10.15. Node 8 might work, but it is not tested.
  • For BOTH Cordova and Capacitor, you must use Xcode >= 11.1, CocoaPods >= 1.8.4, Cordova >= 8.0.0, Ionic-CLI >= 5.1, cordova-ios >= 5.1.0
    • Every single one of these dependencies has fixes that allow the command line build, and the pod dependency resolution to work correctly
  • You MUST use @capacitor/ios >= 1.4.0. Versions prior to that version did not federate the OpenURL notifications to other plugins, including Branch.
  • use_frameworks has been removed from this plugin and will now be statically built. If the another podfile uses use_frameworks that is fine but this plugin no longer flags itself as dynamic. Ideally your app should be updated to remove use_frameworks! from your Podfile.
  • When using Capacitor, you must add the following entries yourself to ios/App/App/Info.plist:
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
  <dict>
    <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
    <string>com.getcapacitor.capacitor</string>
    <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
    <array>
      <string>capacitor</string>
    </array>
  </dict>
  <dict>
    <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
    <string>branch-cordova-sdk</string>
    <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
    <array>
      <string>[YOUR URL SCHEME HERE]</string>
    </array>
  </dict>
</array>
<key>branch_key</key>
<string>[YOUR BRANCH LIVE KEY]</string>
<key>branch_app_domain</key>
<string>[YOUR DOMAIN].app.link</string>
  • This is a limitation of Capacitor where explicit config changes are the developer's responsibility in order to avoid "magic config"
  • When using Capacitor, you must add your Associated Domains entitlements via the Xcode entitlement editor yourself
    • This MUST be done using Xcode - again this is part of Capacitor's core philosophy whereby you are in control of every config file change
    • Open the "Signing & Entitlements" tab in Xcode, add the Associated Domains entitlement, and add the urls found on your Branch dashboard.

AppStore: iOS

  • App rejected because it uses push notification features but does not declare the aps-environment key
  • When branch-cordova-sdk moved to use CocoaPods, a change was introduced in Cordova 9 where the separate entitlement files were no longer flattened together. This issue has been fixed in version 4.1.0 of this plugin by directly adding the Branch config to your existing entitlements rather than creating new entitlement files. This change is backward-compatible with Cordova 8.
