I use flutter and I think deep linking is possible without firebase using the go_router package. Was just curious if adding a simple firebase project to handle deeplinks and push notifications. Have a nice day!

TL;DR
The user was asking if Firebase is the only option for using deeplinking. A discussion ensued about the benefits of Firebase dynamic links and the possibility of achieving deeplinking without it. The conversation mentioned alternative methods and resources for achieving deeplinking, such as using a landing page and relevant documentation for iOS and Android. In the end, it was confirmed that deep linking can be done without Firebase, and specifically mentioned the go_router package for Flutter.

Deep-linking doesnโ€™t require Firebase.

Firebase it's just an automate way of creating deep-linking But you can always create one manually Check this for android

i never understood the hullabaloo around Firebase's dynamic links until they announced they were shutting it down. So, after digging into it, I think the big added benefit with dynamic links was to be able to automatically redirect the user to the corresponding app store to download the app if it's not installed. There's also an added feature to deep link the user into the right page after installing the app...although that may just be a general deep linking + play/app store feature. They probably also help make setup easier too.

It's definitely possible to do this stuff w/o Firebase dynamic links...it just takes more work building that landing page that redirects to the app store. Here's the work: https://github.com/appwrite/dynamic-links
