* Initialize Branch
	Open 
`AppDelegate.m`
 and add the following code
	
```c
	# import <RNBranch/RNBranch.h>

	- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
	{	
		//	Branch
		[RNBranch initSessionWithLaunchOptions:launchOptions isReferrable:YES];
		
		RCTBridge *bridge = [[RCTBridge alloc] initWithDelegate:self launchOptions:launchOptions];
		RCTRootView *rootView = [[RCTRootView alloc] initWithBridge:bridge
																										moduleName:@"BranchExample"
																							initialProperties:nil];

		rootView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:1.0f green:1.0f blue:1.0f alpha:1];

		self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
		UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIViewController new];
		rootViewController.view = rootView;
		self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
		[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
		return YES;
	}

	- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)app openURL:(NSURL *)url options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey,id> *)options {
			if (![RNBranch.branch application:app openURL:url options:options]) {
					// do other deep link routing for the Facebook SDK, Pinterest SDK, etc
			}
			return YES;
	}

	- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application continueUserActivity:(NSUserActivity *)userActivity restorationHandler:(void (^)(NSArray *restorableObjects))restorationHandler {
			return [RNBranch continueUserActivity:userActivity];
	}

	```


##  Let's setup Android 

* Select enable app links
	You can get your App's SHA256 from this command and then add it to Dashboard 

	![Android sha 256](https://i.imgur.com/Lsfv2BZ.png)

	
`keytool -list -v -keystore <keystore path> -alias <key alias> -storepass <store password> -keypass <key password>`


* Add uri scheme again, this time it's for android

* Open 
`MainApplication.java`
 and add following code
* Configure Manifest (AndroidMAnifest.xml)
  * For the MainActivity add 
`android:launchMode="singleTask"`

  * Also these intent filters
  
```xml
	<!-- Branch URI scheme -->
	<intent-filter>
			<data android:scheme="branchapp" android:host="open" />
			<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
			<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
			<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
	</intent-filter>

	<!-- Branch App Links -->
	<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
			<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
			<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
			<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
			<data android:scheme="https" android:host="9jzhz.app.link" />
	</intent-filter>
	```

  * Add these metadata to your application
  
```xml
	<!-- Branch init -->
	<meta-data android:name="io.branch.sdk.BranchKey" android:value="key_live_******" />
	<!-- Branch testing (TestMode "true" to simulate fresh installs on dev environment) -->
	<meta-data android:name="io.branch.sdk.TestMode" android:value="false" />
	```

  * And a receiver
  
```xml
	<!-- Branch install referrer tracking -->
	<receiver android:name="io.branch.referral.InstallListener" android:exported="true">
			<intent-filter>
				<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
			</intent-filter>
	</receiver>
	```

	* android/app/proguard-rules.pro
  
`-dontwarn io.branch.**`


	* In MainApplication.java
  
		
```java
		@Override
		public void onCreate() {
			super.onCreate();
			SoLoader.init(this, /* native exopackage */ false);
			RNBranchModule.getAutoInstance(this);
		}
		```

	* In MAinActivity.java

		
```java
		@Override
		protected void onStart() {
				super.onStart();
				RNBranchModule.initSession(getIntent().getData(), this);
		}

		@Override
		public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
				super.onNewIntent(intent);
				setIntent(intent);
		}
		```


# Let's Implement some Features 

First we create a Branch Universal Object with the content to share and call a Branch function to generate a short deep link url for sharing


```js
import branch, { BranchEvent } from 'react-native-branch'

// only canonicalIdentifier is required
let branchUniversalObject = await branch.createBranchUniversalObject('canonicalIdentifier', {
  locallyIndex: true,
  title: 'Cool Content!',
  contentDescription: 'Cool Content Description',
  contentMetadata: {
    ratingAverage: 4.2,
    customMetadata: {
      prop1: 'test',
      prop2: 'abc'
    }
  }
})

let linkProperties = {
    feature: 'share',
    channel: 'facebook'
}

let controlParams = {
     $desktop_url: 'http://desktop-url.com/monster/12345'
}

let {url} = await branchUniversalObject.generateShortUrl(linkProperties, controlParams)

let shareOptions = { messageHeader: 'Check this out', messageBody: 'No really, check this out!' }
let linkProperties = { feature: 'share', channel: 'RNApp' }
let controlParams = { $desktop_url: 'http://example.com/home', $ios_url: 'http://example.com/ios' }
let {channel, completed, error} = await branchUniversalObject.showShareSheet(shareOptions, linkProperties, controlParams)

branch.subscribe(({ error, params }) => {
  if (error) {
    console.error('Error from Branch: ' + error)
    return
  }

  // params will never be null if error is null
})

let lastParams = await branch.getLatestReferringParams() // params from last open
let installParams = await branch.getFirstReferringParams() // params from original install

branch.subscribe(({ error, params }) => {
  if (error) {
    console.error('Error from Branch: ' + error)
    return
  }

  // params will never be null if error is null

  if (params['+non_branch_link']) {
    const nonBranchUrl = params['+non_branch_link']
    // Route non-Branch URL if appropriate.
    return
  }

  if (!params['+clicked_branch_link']) {
    // Indicates initialization success and some other conditions.
    // No link was opened.
    return
  }

  // A Branch link was opened.
  // Route link based on data in params, e.g.

  // Get title and url for route
  const title = params.$og_title
  const url = params.$canonical_url
  const image = params.$og_image_url

  // Now push the view for this URL
  this.navigator.push({ title: title, url: url, image: image })
})
