1. Introduction
This module enables communication between HUAWEI AppLinking Kit and React Native platform. It exposes all functionality provided by HUAWEI AppLinking Kit which allows you to create cross-platform links that can work as defined regardless of whether your app has been installed by a user. A link created in App Linking can be distributed through multiple channels to users. When a user taps the link, the user will be redirected to the specified in-app content. In App Linking, you can create both long and short links.
To identity the source of a user, you can set tracing parameters when creating a link of App Linking to trace traffic sources. By analyzing the link performance of each traffic source based on the tracing parameters, you can find the platform that can achieve the best promotion effect for your app.
---
2. Installation Guide
Before you get started, you must register as a HUAWEI Developer and complete identity verification on the HUAWEI Developer website. For details, please refer to Register a HUAWEI ID.
$3
Creating an app in AppGallery Connect is required in order to communicate with the Huawei services. To create an app, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Sign in to AppGallery Connect and select My projects.
Step 2. Select your project from the project list or create a new one by clicking the Add Project button.
Step 3. Go to Project Setting > General information, and click Add app.
If an app exists in the project and you need to add a new one, expand the app selection area on the top of the page and click Add app.
Step 4. On the Add app page, enter the app information, and click OK.
$3
You need to enable App Linking before using it. If you have enabled it, skip this step.
Step 1. In AppGallery Connect, click My projects.
Step 2. Find your project from the project list and click the app for which you need to enable App Linking on the project card.
Step 3: Go to Growing > App Linking.
Step 4: Click Enable now in the upper right corner.
Step 5: Click the URL prefix tab, and then click Add URL prefix to set a URL prefix.
Step 6: Click Next. A message is displayed, indicating that the URL has been verified.
For further details, please refer to Enabling App Linking.

Before using @react-native-agconnect/applinking, ensure that the ReactNative development environment has been installed.
$3
``
npm i @react-native-agconnect/applinking
#### Android App Development
#### Integrating the React-Native AGC AppLinking into the Android Studio
- Add the AppGallery Connect configuration file of the app to your Android Studio project.
Step 1: Sign in to AppGallery Connect and click My projects.
Step 2: Find your app project and click the app.
Step 3: Go to Project Setting > App information. In the App information area, download the agconnect-services.json file.
Step 4: Copy the agconnect-services.json file to the app's root directory of your project.
- Open the build.gradle file in the android directory of your React Native project. Navigate into buildscript, configure the Maven repository address and agconnect plugin.
`groovy
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
maven { url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/' }
}
dependencies {
/*
*
*/
classpath 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.4.2.300'
}
}
`
- Go to allprojects then configure the Maven repository address.
`groovy`
allprojects {
repositories {
/*
*
*/
maven { url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/' }
}
}
- Open the build.gradle file in the android/app directory of your React Native project.
Set your package name in defaultConfig > applicationId and set minSdkVersion to 19 or higher.
`groovy`
defaultConfig {
applicationId "
minSdkVersion 19
/*
*
*/
}
Package name must match with the _package_name_ entry in _agconnect-services.json_ file.
- Configure the signature file.
`gradle
android {
/*
*
*/
signingConfigs {
config {
storeFile file('
storePassword '
keyAlias '
keyPassword '
}
}
buildTypes {
debug {
signingConfig signingConfigs.config
}
release {
signingConfig signingConfigs.config
}
}
}
`
- To use deep links to receive data, you need to add the following configuration to the activity for processing links. Set android:host to the domain name in the deepLink and android:scheme to the custom scheme. When a user taps a link containing this deep link, your app uses this activity to process the link.
xml`
- Make sure you do not specify Android launch mode in your ReactNative project AndroidManifest.xml, in case you have android:launchMode="singleTask" in your project, AppLinking will not work properly so remove that line from your AndroidManifest.xml.
- In the end, your AndroidManifest.xml should look like below:
- `xml`
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize|uiMode"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
#### iOS App Development
#### Integrating the React-Native AGC AppLinking into the Xcode Project
- Navigate into your project directory and run below command.
`
[project_path]> cd ios/ && pod install
- Add the AppGallery Connect configuration file of the app to your Xcode project.
Step 1: Sign in to AppGallery Connect and click My projects.
Step 2: Find your app project and click the app.
Step 3: Go to Project Setting > App information. In the App information area, download the agconnect-services.plist file.
Step 4: Copy the agconnect-services.plist file to the app's root directory of your Xcode project.
Before obtaining the agconnect-services.plist file, ensure that you have enabled HUAWEI AppLinking. For details, please refer to Enabling App Linking.
If you have made any changes on the Project Setting page, such as setting the data storage location and enabling or managing APIs, you need to download the latest agconnect-services.plist file and replace the existing file in the app's root directory.
- Initialize the AGConnectCore SDK.
After the agconnect-services.plist file is imported successfully, initialize the AGConnect Core SDK using the config API in AppDelegate. Then, add the applinking configuration in AppDelegate file.
Swift sample code for initialization in AppDelegate.swift:
`swift
import AGConnectCore
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
...
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
...
// Initializate the AGCInstance SDK using the config API in AppDelegate
AGCInstance.startUp()
AGCAppLinking.instance().handle({ link, error in
if let link = link {
let userInfo = ["deepLink" : link]
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name("AgcApplinkingNotification"), object: nil, userInfo: userInfo)
}
})
return true
}
`
Objective-C sample code for initialization in AppDelegate.m:
`objc
#import "AppDelegate.h"
...
#import
@implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication )application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary )launchOptions
{
...
// Initializate the AGCInstance SDK using the config API in AppDelegate
[AGCInstance startUp];
[[AGCAppLinking sharedInstance] handleAppLinking:^(AGCResolvedLink *
_Nullable link, NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (link) {
NSDictionary *userInfo = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:link forKey:@"deepLink"];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName: @"AgcApplinkingNotification" object:nil userInfo:userInfo];
}
}];
return YES;
}
...
@end
`
- All the React-Native AGC AppLinking plugin implementations are written in swift.
Make sure your Xcode target -> Swift Compiler - General tab includes Objective-C Bridging Header and Objective-C Generated Interface Header Name like below:

4. Configuration and Description
$3
To use analytics feature,
- Navigate into your /android/app/build.gradle and add build dependencies in the dependencies section.
`
dependencies {
implementation 'com.huawei.hms:hianalytics:5.1.0.301'
}
- Navigate into your /ios file and edit the Podfile file to add the pod dependency 'HiAnalytics'
- Example Podfile file:
`
# Pods for AGCAppLinkingDemo
pod 'HiAnalytics'
- Run pod install to install the pods.
$ pod install
- Initialize the Analytics SDK using the config API in AppDelegate in iOS platform.
Sample code for initialization in AppDelegate.m:
`
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import
@interface AppDelegate ()
@end
@implementation AppDelegate
...
// Customize the service logic after app launch.
- (BOOL)Application:(UIApplication )Application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary )launchOptions {
// Initialize the Analytics SDK.
[HiAnalytics config];
return YES;
}
...
@end
For further information please refer to Analytics Kit Service Guide.
