My deep links are not navigating to the destination when I use launchMode=singletTop. I implemented deep links following the documentation.
Do deep links not handle onNewIntent?

I found the solution in the docs of the old navigation library: https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/navigation-deep-link#handle

I think this should be mentioned in the Compose Navigation documentation

As per those docs, don't use singleTop. It doesn't actually do anything for this case and you should always use the default launchMode

Ok got it

But what if you don't want to allow the same activity on the stack multiple times?

[Ian Lake]

That won't happen when Navigation handles deep links anyways since it always enforces the correct activity stack as well

Yes I noticed that. But there are other situations where a 2nd activity could be created, right?

[Ian Lake]

Like I said, when handling a deep link, Navigation enforces the correct activity stack, so you'll always have the correct set of activities

What I mean is, do we really never want launchMode=singleTop in our app ever?
