    OneLink™ for Install & Re campaigns 

    AppsFlyer's OneLink™ offers three attributes: multi-channel detection, redirection, deep linking & deferred deep linking. You have an option to turn Onelink into an iOS universal link that works on both iOS and Android. AppsFlyer utilizes Universal Links for the app open. I.e. you should set a deep link scheme to ensure a seamless Universal Link performance. If you want to redirect your users to the exact page within your app, AppsFlyer nonetheless requires the raw deep link custom scheme (myapp://...) configured within your OneLink.
