+# Firebase Dynamic Links SDK for iOS
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Firebase Dynamic Links are universal deep links that persist across app installs.
|
|
|
+For more info, see the [Firebase website](https://firebase.google.com/products/dynamic-links).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Please visit [our developer site](https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/) for integration
|
|
|
+instructions, documentations, support information, and terms of service.

|
|
+## Managing the Pasteboard
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Firebase Dynamic Links 4.2.0 and higher use a plist property
|
|
|
+`FirebaseDeepLinkPasteboardRetrievalEnabled` that a developer can set to enable/disable the use of
|
|
|
+iOS pasteboard by the SDK.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+FDL SDK uses the pasteboard for deep-linking post app install (to enable deferred deep-linking,
|
|
|
+where the link is copied on the
|
|
|
+[app preview page](https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/link-previews#app_preview_pages))
|
|
|
+and app install attribution; otherwise, FDL does not use the pasteboard for anything else.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Disabling pasteboard access affects the app in the following ways:
|
|
|
+* Deferred deep-linking will not work as reliably. At best, your app receives
|
|
|
+[weak matches](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/unity/namespace/firebase/dynamic-links#linkmatchstrength)
|
|
|
+for deep-links.
|
|
|
+* App install attribution stats will be less accurate (potentially undercounting app installs).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Enabling pasteboard access affects the app in the following ways:
|
|
|
+* On iOS 14, will show a system alert notifying that your app accessed the content in the
|
|
|
+pasteboard. This should happen one-time after installation of the app.
|
|
|
+* Deferred deep-linking will work as designed. At best, your app receives a
|
|
|
+[perfect match](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/unity/namespace/firebase/dynamic-links#linkmatchstrength)
|
|
|
+for deep-links.
|
|
|
+* SDK will be able to more reliably attribute installation stats for links.
