Intent Filter with android:autoVerify="true" - never verified at installation, default app links don't work
Fixed this by moving this data tag into a separate intent filter:
<data android:scheme="@string/url_scheme" android:host="open"/>
This is what AndroidManifest looks like now:
<activity android:name="com.mypackage.MyActivity"
android:launchMode="singleTask">
<intent-filter tools:node="merge" android:autoVerify="true">
<data android:scheme="https"
android:host="@string/branch_io_host"
android:pathPrefix="@string/branch_io_path_prefix"/>
<data android:scheme="http"
android:host="@string/branch_io_host"
android:pathPrefix="@string/branch_io_path_prefix"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<data android:scheme="@string/url_scheme" android:host="open"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Messages from IntentFilter now show up in the log as intended.
