How does google play app work in terms of deep linking. Every day thousand of apps are added and then then google play app can provide a deep link that goes directly to that new page ? How does the app know that the new page is created ?
when i usually deep link the page is persistent like in the docs this example:
<activity
android:name="com.example.android.GizmosActivity"
android:label="@string/title_gizmos" >
<intent-filter android:label="@string/filter_title_viewgizmos">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<!-- Accepts URIs that begin with "example://gizmos” -->
<data android:scheme="example"
android:host="gizmos" />
<!-- Accepts URIs that begin with "http://www.example.com/gizmos” -->
<data android:scheme="http"
android:host="www.example.com"
android:pathPrefix="gizmos" />
</intent-filter>
so a link of http://www.example.com/gizmos would open the activity. But how would it work when the pathPrefix changes all the time ? so really im asking how does the google play store or other apps update the pathPrefix when there are thousands of new pages daily ? Do they not use this methodology at all ?
