iOS Deeplink - Handling asynchronous deep link

[guillaumeboussion]

Hey,

Did anybody here struggle with iOS asynchronous deep linking when app is in terminated state ?

Meaning that, because the app first launch to "/", you make all the initialization process (we do it through a splash screen, that triggers a lot of data fetching in a SplashProvider, then pushes to either HomeRoute or LoginRoute). So, imagine the process :

• The app first launch to "/", so will go to the SplashRoute, running its data fetching through SplashProvider
• At the same time, your deep link comes, and wants to push to a specific book page. But your SplashProvider implementation either didn't finish its process, or has not started yet
• A race condition would start here, so would re-push the SplashRoute before redirecting (if you set a guard in front of your BookRoute)

Did anybody encountered such a case ? I thought of making the InitializationState a Stream, so that the deepLinkBuilder can listen to it, and redirect once InitializationState is InitializationSuccess. But maybe there's side effects to it that I don't think of..

Thanks to anyone helping with this !
