Variable(s) missing (use: --variable APP_DOMAIN=value --variable PAGE_LINK_DOMAIN=value

Question

I need to set up Firebase Dynamic Links. I have done it according to the doc. But it shows below error. Can you tell me how to find out these values for my app?

APP_DOMAIN and PAGE_LINK_DOMAIN

I need to create dynamic links programmatically.

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-dynamiclinks
> cordova.cmd plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-dynamiclinks
Variable(s) missing (use: --variable APP_DOMAIN=value --variable PAGE_LINK_DOMAIN=value).
[ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess cordova.

        cordova.cmd plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-dynamiclinks exited with exit code 1.

        Re-running this command with the --verbose flag may provide more information.

Answer 1

You need to create a project in Firebase console and create a dynamic link URL there.

Once you create the dynamic link URL, you will have a domain for that. Consider you have purchased a domain foobar.com and you have set up a dynamic link in Firebase project with domain foobar.page.link, then you have to run this command to install the plugin:

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-dynamiclinks 
    --variable APP_DOMAIN="foobar.com"
    --variable PAGE_LINK_DOMAIN="foobar.page.link"

It's mentioned in the Cordova plugin doc:

Use variable APP_DOMAIN specify web URL where your app will start an activity to handle the link.

Use variable PAGE_LINK_DOMAIN specify your *.page.link domain.

Use variable FIREBASE_DYNAMIC_LINKS_VERSION and FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_VERSION to override dependency version on Android.
