Is @react-native-firebase/dynamic-links deprecated? Confused by Firebase Dynamic Links deprecation notice

[gopi15699sptr]

Hi team,

I’m using a React Native CLI app and planning to implement deferred deep linking using @react-native-firebase/dynamic-links. However, I recently came across announcements and articles stating that Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL) are deprecated (especially the REST API and web UI builder), and that Firebase recommends using App Links / Universal Links instead.

This raised a few questions:

1. Is the @react-native-firebase/dynamic-links package still actively supported?
2. Is the Firebase native SDK for dynamic links (used under the hood) deprecated or will it continue to work in 2025+?
3. Is it safe to use this library for deferred deep linking going forward?

I would like to avoid investing time in something that's being phased out. If there’s a preferred modern alternative (Branch, App Links, or manual handling), I’m open to hearing suggestions too.

Thanks in advance!
