Reopens Android app from recents trigger deeplink again #1335
Description
Describe the bug
Hi, there, I’m facing an issue where opening the Flutter app via a deeplink triggers the expected handling, but when I hide the app and return to it from recent apps, FlutterBranchSdk.listSession() emits the same deeplink again.
This occurs only with non-Branch links in the format:
scheme://some_link
How can I prevent the deeplink from being re-emitted when the app is resumed from recents?
originally created tread here
Steps to reproduce
Open the app using a non-Branch deeplink, in format:
scheme://some_link
Observe that the deeplink is handled correctly on app start.
Hide app to background the app (do not swipe it away).
Reopen the app from the recent apps screen.
Observe that FlutterBranchSdk.listSession() emits the same deeplink again, even though the app was not reopened via a deeplink.
Expected behavior
I expect to see generic state:
BranchReferralInitListener - params: {"+clicked_branch_link":false,"+is_first_session":false}
