Anybody is using Firebase Dynamic Links? It works well, and everything but why they ask you to call this?
```
FirebaseDynamicLinks.getInstance().getDynamicLink(intent)....
```
If the short link will be resolved by browser into your app deeplink anyway, why this firebase call?

I believe there are some instances where your activity won't get passed in the correct deep link automatically.

One example I can think of is if a user installed your app from the play store by going through a deep link, when the app opens it won't get a deep link intent but you can get the deep link from firebase dynamic links

Doesn't seem to be the case. Just tested this flow and once you're done with the Play Store install, the final deeplink is being rethrown. So, at the end, it's always the deeplink that hits your app.

Also, I don't see how it's even possible to open the app with a short firebase link. It has a different hostname, that it not registered in your Manifest.

The only thing that I can think about is analytics.

Interesting, not sure why it would be necessary then
