Firebase Dynamic Links Deprecation

Firebase Dynamic Links Deprecation

Google has announced the deprecation of Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL), effective August 25, 2025. Introduced over seven years ago, FDL aimed to enhance URLs by dynamically altering link destinations based on run-time conditions. Despite its utility, evolving web and mobile technologies have led to new challenges, prompting Google to sunset FDL and reallocate resources to other developer needs.

Key Dates and Impact

  • Shutdown Date: August 25, 2025.
  • Link Functionality: All FDL links will cease functioning, resulting in HTTP 404 errors.
  • API Access: FDL APIs will no longer be available.

Steps to Migrate:

  1. Evaluate Needs: Determine if you need full feature parity with FDL or only certain functionalities.
  2. Select an Alternative: Choose a deep-linking provider that best meets your requirements.
  3. Export Metadata: Use the provided guides to export your FDL link metadata.
  4. Update and Test: Integrate the new service, update your app, and thoroughly test all links.
