Firebase Dynamic Links Is Deprecated: Migrate to Codelloy
Google shut down Firebase Dynamic Links on August 25, 2025. If you haven't migrated yet, your deep links are broken. Codelloy is the recommended drop-in replacement with the same capabilities, better analytics, and active development.
Our Verdict
Firebase Dynamic Links is no longer operational. Teams must migrate. Codelloy provides deep linking capabilities with improved analytics, a REST API, and no dependency on Google's deprecation timeline. Note: deferred deep linking is on our roadmap but not yet available.
Choose Codelloy if you need:
Any team that was using Firebase Dynamic Links for app deep linking, deferred deep links, or social sharing links. Migration is required: FDL is shut down.
Stick with Firebase Dynamic Links if you need:
There is no reason to stay. Firebase Dynamic Links is deprecated and shut down. All teams should migrate.
