Issue with Branch.io SDK Deep Linking in BranchAndroidSampleTestApp

[PHOEBEHAUNG]

Hi Branch.io team,

I've been testing the deep linking feature in the Branch.io SDK on Android using the BranchAndroidSampleTestApp, and I've encountered an issue.

After generating a URL within the app and copying it to the clipboard, I pasted it into a browser expecting it to open BranchAndroidSampleTestApp. However, it only go to the default website instead of the app (this is the link that app generate https://branchsampleapps.app.link/QaRKsjkZtOb ).

Then, I open the app manually, I can see Branch.sessionBuilder(this).withCallback successfully receives the branchUniversalObject and navigates to ReadDeepLinkActivity as expected. This behavior occurs consistently across multiple devices running Android 13 and 14.

I’ve checked account configuration, the URL generated by the SDK, and the intent filter setup, and they all seem to be correctly configured. Despite this, the app does not open directly from the browser link as intended.

If you have any suggestions or insights on how to resolve this, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Thank you!
