Dynamic Links Working on Everything Except iOS Messenger on Physical Device (Flutter)

Question

I am having an odd issue. I have spent quite some time getting dynamic links working on my flutter app and everything seems to be working great. I am able to create a link programmatically, pass in parameters, and handle the incoming links as necessary. They work great on an iOS and Android simulator, and even a physical iOS device EXCEPT for Apple's text messages. On the physical device, the links works fine for sharing to social media accounts, and if I copy/paste to a text message, it works. However, if you try to share directly to the messages, it only passes on the main url (https://example.com) and not the uriPrefix (https://example.page.link/params).

Link Generation:

class DynamicLinkService {
Future createDynamicLink(String navPage, String id) async {
    final DynamicLinkParameters parameters = DynamicLinkParameters(
      uriPrefix: 'https://example.page.link',
      link: Uri.parse('https://example.com/?navPage=$navPage&id=$id'),
      androidParameters: AndroidParameters(
        packageName: 'com.example.example',
        minimumVersion: 1,
      ),
      iosParameters: IosParameters(
        bundleId: 'com.example.example',
        minimumVersion: '1',
        appStoreId: '12345678',
      ),
    );
    var dynamicUrl = await parameters.buildShortLink();
    final Uri shortUrl = dynamicUrl.shortUrl;
    return shortUrl;
}

On press link generation:

class _FeedPageWidgetState extends State
  final DynamicLinkService _dynamicLinkService = DynamicLinkService();

Align(
alignment: AlignmentDirectional(0, 0),
child: FlutterFlowIconButton(                                 
 icon: Icon(),
    onPressed: () async {
    var uri = await _dynamicLinkService
    .createDynamicLink('param 1', 'param 2');
    await Share.share(uri.toString());
    print(uri.toString());
    },
  ),
),

The correct uri is printing the deeplink with the correct parameters, however, it is not sending it to the messages app but will for everything else. I am getting the error below on press.

Any help is greatly appreciated! I am curious if this has anything to do with the build not being 'production' or coming from the App Store?

I'm facing the same issues, but find a temporary fix. Juste add before the url string. But with that you will not have the Link Preview, when sharing.

await Share.share('Hello : ${uri.toString()}');

Or

await Share.share(' ${uri.toString()}'; // Just put an empty space before.
