Solution

  • You can use this plugin only if you are Ionic framework for developing cordova apps. Ionic framework is based on AngularJS but used Cordova framework as its base.Check out this link which elaborates more about Ionic framework.

    If you are using vanilla cordova framework for app development, then you should use plugins like universal link plugin or custom URL scheme plugin to achieve this as these Ionic deep link plugin is evolved from these plugins using them as the base.

    Hope it helps. Cheers
