Implement actual deep links that directly launch the app immediately

cordova

I have implemented deep linking, and it is working properly. However, when I click on the link on Android 11, a menu appears asking me to choose between the app or the browser. On Android 12 and above, there is no such menu; instead, it redirects to the browser before opening the app. I want the app to open directly. If the app is not installed, it should open the link in the browser or redirect to the Play Store/App Store, similar to how links for apps like Flipkart or Amazon behave.

I am using ionic-plugin-deeplinks v1.0.24.

That plugin is deprecated and no longer being maintained. You might want to think about migrating to Capacitor.

There is a guide about deep links in Capacitor here.

I uninstalled that plugin and currently using @awesome-cordova-plugins/deeplinks: 6.4.0
Will this work or do we need to use capacitor only to make it work ?

The @awesome-cordova-plugins project only offers Capacitor wrappers around Cordova plugins. So, @awesome-cordova-plugins/deeplinks is just a wrapper around the ionic-plugin-deeplinks plugin.
