Deep Linking on the Meta Quest Browser not working properly

Unity Engine

I am trying to test deep linking but I am running into some weird results.

<intent-filter android:label="@string/app_name">
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <data android:scheme="scheme"
                  android:host="host"
                  android:pathPrefix=""
                />
        </intent-filter>

I have my android manifest set up with the correct intent filter and I can verify this by building the app in android and clicking the deep link on my phone. That works.

However, after building to quest, when I open the webpage that hosts my deep links and click on of the links, it doesn’t work.

The strange part is that if I use ADB to launch my website that is holding these deep links, then I am able to click on the link and it will work to open the app.

I run this command ```
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d http://www.{hosted-links}.com

and then I am able to follow the links to the app.

so what is different
Like would doing this "android.intent.action.VIEW " prep the browser in a way that just going to the site doesn't?

Any ideas, can we do deeplinking with the meta browser?

Since the ADB functionality appears to work, I would ask Meta or on the Meta forums for more information on the Meta browser functionality with regards to deep linking, since it implies the other functionality is working properly outside of it.

Any news regarding this?
