Platform-Specific Configuration

iOS

Add the following to your ios/Runner/Info.plist:

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
    <string>linkedin</string>
    <string>itms-apps</string>
</array>

Android

Add the following to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml inside the <queries> tag:

<queries>
    <!-- For LinkedIn app -->
    <package android:name="com.linkedin.android" />
    
    <!-- For Play Store fallback (if using fallbackToStore) -->
    <package android:name="com.android.vending" />
    
    <!-- For web fallback (required for universal links) -->
    <intent>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <data android:scheme="https" />
    </intent>
</queries>

URL Schemes

DeeplinkX uses the following URL schemes for LinkedIn:

Native App Deep Links

When LinkedIn is installed, the following scheme is used:

• linkedin:// - Native LinkedIn URL scheme

Web Fallback URLs

When LinkedIn is not installed, DeeplinkX automatically falls back to:

• https://www.linkedin.com - Official LinkedIn web URL

Supported Fallback Stores

When the LinkedIn app is not installed, DeeplinkX can redirect users to download LinkedIn from the following app stores:

• iOS App Store
• Google Play Store
• Microsoft Store

To enable fallback to app stores, use the fallbackToStore parameter:

final deeplinkX = DeeplinkX();
await deeplinkX.launchApp(LinkedIn.open(fallbackToStore: true));

Fallback Behavior

LinkedIn uses universal links, which work seamlessly across platforms:

1. First, it attempts to open the LinkedIn app if it's installed on the device using universal links.
2. If the LinkedIn app is not installed and fallbackToStore is set to true, it will redirect to the appropriate app store based on the user's platform (iOS App Store, Google Play Store, or Microsoft Store).
3. If no supported store is available for the current platform or the store app cannot be launched, it will automatically fall back to opening the URL in a web browser, as LinkedIn uses universal links.
4. You can disable all fallbacks by setting disableFallback: true in the launch methods.

Fallback Support for Actions

Check If LinkedIn Is Installed

final deeplinkX = DeeplinkX();
final isInstalled = await deeplinkX.isAppInstalled(LinkedIn());
