Short Dynamic link error com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 8:
Firebase team was able to reproduce the issue and has already reported this to their team.
Currently, there are two workarounds for this issue:
Use the Dynamic Link version 16.0.1 to be able to generate a short Dynamic Link:
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-dynamic-links:16.0.1'
Stick in using version 16.1.1, create a long link first then try to shorten the long Dynamic Link using this guide.
Use my solution to build your short link and avoid downgrading firebase.
String builtLink = new LinkBuilder().setDomain("example.page.link")
.setLink("your link goes here")
.setSd(socialTagDesc)
.setSt(socialTagTitle)
.setSi("social image link here")
.setApn("android app pkg")
.setAmv("android min version")
.setIbi("ios app pkg")
.setImv("ios app min version")
.setIsi("iosid number").build();
DynamicLink.Builder builder = FirebaseDynamicLinks.getInstance().createDynamicLink()
.setLongLink(Uri.parse(builtLink));
builder.buildShortDynamicLink()
.addOnSuccessListener(listener)
.addOnFailureListener(failureListener);
