too many data lines in AndroidManifest / prefix ignored

[heidji]

it seems that it doesn't matter what i do, the intent-filter always gets 5 lines, the first being the one configured during the setup (doesn't seem to be editable 💃) and 4 others with empty host and scheme but with a "/" as prefix.

this renders the prefix part globally unusable because having one data line within the same intent with prefix "/" overwrites all other prefix settings. it BLEEDS into the other data lines, which means the universal link always gets triggered regardless of the prefix configured, just because there are other data lines with a lower level "/" set in them..

tip for anyone who happens to have the same problem with prefixes not being recognized because of this bug, remove the plugin and add it again with a --variable=DEEPLINK_HOST=pluginbust.com and add your own intents into the AndroidManifest.xml manually,
i know the ionic team meant good with these data lines, problem is that android doesn't differentiate the prefixes between the lines and just overwrites all prefixes with one of these default "/" you guys added..

update:
in order not to be forced to update the AndroidManifest manually, you can use this in the config.xml:

<platform name="android">
        ....
        <config-file parent="./application/activity" target="AndroidManifest.xml">
            <intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                <data android:host="example.de" android:pathPrefix="/path/to/prefix" android:scheme="https" />
            </intent-filter>
        </config-file>
</platform>

good luck

Thanks heidji.

In additional, you will need to ensure you have the following namespace in your config.xml
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

good luck

When removing the plugin some remains of the prefixes were still on the android.json file. Search for ion-deeplinks and make sure to remove them before adding the plugin and the intents in the config.xml
