Branch.io deferred deep link missing data after install

I'm trying to get deferred deep links working on Android. I added a test device in the dashboard & reset the device data and made sure the app is uninstalled. When I click a branch.io link, it takes me to the play store as expected. I then launch the app from Android Studio onto the phone, then the logs say that Branch SDK sent a request to https://api2.branch.io/v1/install, but the problem is the response doesn't contain the original link, query params, or key value pairs I set in the dashboard. This is the JSONObject I'm receiving in onInitFinished:
{"+match_guaranteed":true,"link_click_id":"976953359423305632","+clicked_branch_link":true,"+click_timestamp":1634196720,"+is_first_session":true,"utm_source":"test-referrer"}
Where is all the other information? This doesn't include the original link, the key-value pairs, tags, etc.
For a comparison, this is what I receive in the iOS app:
["$ios_passive_deepview": "branch_passive_default", "source": "test-referrer", "+is_first_session": 1, "~channel": test-referrer, "$matching_ttl_s": 7200, "~id": 976763609660742721, "~creation_source": 1, "$one_time_use": 0, "~marketing": 1, "~referring_link": "https://myapp.test-app.link/test-referrer", "~feature": "test", "+click_timestamp": 1634249299, "+match_guaranteed": 0, "$og_description": "My app description", "$og_title": "MyApp", "+clicked_branch_link": 1, "$marketing_title": "Test Referral Link", "~tags": ["test-referrer"], "~campaign": "test"]
If I rotate the phone to recreate the Activity or reopen the app a single time, it then sends a request to https://api2.branch.io/v1/open and returns all the info I expected initially. How do I get the information after installing the app?
I'm currently testing with myapp.test-app.link, and I call Branch.enableTestMode() before Branch.getAutoInstance(this) in my custom Application class's onCreate(). I also tried with a live link and got the same result.
These are the libraries I'm using in build.grade:
implementation 'io.branch.sdk.android:library:5.0.13'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:20.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:17.1.0'
implementation 'androidx.browser:browser:1.3.0'
I've also set up app links and the uri scheme in the dashboard as well as in the app. Using getFirstReferringParams() and getLatestReferringParams() on the first session after installing doesn't help either.
UPDATE:
Repeating the exact same testing process I described above, now the JSONObject that gets passed into onInitFinished has even less information and is claiming that I'm not clicking a branch link:
{"+clicked_branch_link":false,"+is_first_session":true}
And getFirstReferringParams() returns an empty json object.
I'm about to start looking for an alternative at this rate.

I fixed this issue by adding intent.putExtra("branch_force_new_session", true); right after this.activity.setIntent(intent); when initialising the intent. Something like this:
...
this.activity.setIntent(intent);
intent.putExtra("branch_force_new_session", true);
Branch
.sessionBuilder(this.activity)
.withCallback(branchReferralInitListener)
.reInit();
...
Look here for the branch_force_new_session reference.
The other reason for the missing data is the non-existent link alias, but it looks like it is not the case as soon as you tried with the same link in iOS.

Android - ConsentInformation - Could not parse Event FE preflight response

I ve seen this error posted in many places but no one has ever answered what needs to be done to fix it or why is it happening. I m hoping I ll have better luck.
ConsentInformation consentInformation = ConsentInformation.getInstance(getActivity());
String[] publisherIds = {"pub-**********~*******"};
consentInformation.requestConsentInfoUpdate(publisherIds, new ConsentInfoUpdateListener() {
#Override
public void onConsentInfoUpdated(com.google.ads.consent.ConsentStatus consentStatus) {
//do something
}
#Override
public void onFailedToUpdateConsentInfo(String errorDescription) {
Log.e("GDPR ", errorDescription);
}
});
This is how I am using the consent sdk. I always get the same error: Could not parse Event FE preflight response
My import in gradle is implementation 'com.google.android.ads.consent:consent-library:1.0.6'
I am running this code on the OnCreateView method of the first fragment loaded. Also tried running a few seconds later in case it was a timing thing...still the same error.
Also tried adding the ca-app- prefix before the pub in publisher id...same result.
Any help is appreciated.

Make sure that you're using Publisher ID and not App ID
Publisher ID is the unique identifier for your AdMob account.
Looks something like this pub-7100389293873601
App ID is the unique ID assigned to your app. It looks something like this ca-app-pub-7100382293173983~6849306728.
You can have multiple App IDs (for each app) but you can only have one Publisher ID for your account.
You can find your publisher ID in you AdMob Settings:
Or make sure you pasted it correctly.
Hope this helps!

The Admob account I used was completely new and the "Could not parse Event FE preflight response" was displayed repeatedly. Only when I tried it with an older account it worked. I think you have to wait a bit for verification.
or
Another thing to try is add your payment information to your Admob account
like described in this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/61423243/8779275 and also check the other points there.

Android Management API change Policy for device

I created 2 policies in my enterprise.
I would like to switch one device to the other policy without re-enroling it.
I tried to use android management enterprises devices.patch with following JSON
{ "policyName": "policy2" }
this link
When i execute this command i always get follwoing error Message:
{
"error": {
"code": 400,
"message": "Illegal state transition from ACTIVE to DEVICE_STATE_UNSPECIFIED",
"status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT"
}
}
Does anybody know how to change policy for a device without wiping it?

It is indeed possible to change the policy of a device without re-enrolling it, and you're not far from the solution.
You get this error because you implicitly attempt to change other fields of the Device resource (in particular the state field) by not setting them in the resource that you send in devices.patch.
You have two options:
Set the updateMask in devices.patch to "policyName", to tell the API that you only want to change the policyName field.
Call devices.get to get the current Device resource, and then send back the entire resource with only the policyName field changed in to devices.patch.
Using updateMask is preferable because it does an atomic read-modify-write.

As Fred mentioned, updateMask is the preferred way to go. Here's an example of how to use the updateMask approach in the Google colab
swap_result = androidmanagement.enterprises().devices().patch(
name='enterprises/ENTERPRISE_NAME/devices/DEVICE_ID', updateMask='policyName', body={ "policyName": "enterprises/ENTERPRISE_NAME/policies/NEW_POLICY_NAME"}).execute()

i foudn a solution for my problem:
{ "policyName": "policy2" , "state":"active"}

If you try this from management api test site then add updateMask as "policyName"

Facebook SDK : invalide scope : basic info use public_profile, user friends instead

I'm using facebook sdk 3.15 to set a facebook login button on my project.
keep in mind that I'm working with parse.com
I used the code provided by parse.com support, available here but I keep getting this error after I click on the login button :
invalide scope : basic info use public_profile, user friends instead
I googled the error and found nothing...
Thanks for your help :)

You're using Graph API v2.0, hence the permission basic_info is no longer available.
See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_0_permissions
basic_info is no longer available.
Check what you set as scope parameter in the Login URL.

I have the same problem,like the below image:
Then I change my code from: self.loginView.readPermissions = #[#"basic_info"]; to self.loginView.readPermissions = #[#"public_profile", #"user_friends"]; to solved the problem. With the loginView is declaration into the header file:#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet FBLoginView *loginView;

How to successfully add account to android E-mail Database?

I am trying to add an account to E-mail database ,Below is the way i'm trying ...
Account account = new Account(mContext);
account.setDescription("acc added thr prog");
account.setAutomaticCheckIntervalMinutes(10);
account.setEmail("UserName#gmail.com");
account.setDraftsFolderName("Drafts");
account.setOutboxFolderName("OutBox");
account.setSentFolderName("Sent");
account.setTrashFolderName("Trash");
account.setName("Tester");
account.setNotifyNewMail(true);
account.setSenderUri("smtp+ssl+://userName#gmail.com:PassWord#imap.gmail.com");
account.setStoreUri("imap+ssl+://userName#gmail.com:PassWord#imap.gmail.com");
account.setDeletePolicy(10);
account.setVibrate(true);
mPrefer = Preferences.getPreferences(getInstrumentation().getContext());
account.save(mPrefer);
Email.setServicesEnabled(mInstrumenatation.getTargetContext());
This code compiles successfully but account will not be created.

account.setSenderUri(mContext, "smtp+ssl+://UserName%40gmail.com:Password#smtp.gmail.com");
mAccount.setStoreUri(mContext, "imap+ssl+://UserName%40gmail.com:Password#imap.gmail.com");
These are two important fields that you need add along with the above fields. These Uri's provides a way for your account to connect to internet.
This configuration is for POP3 type of account . If you know similar config for "Exchange account" please inform me , i am waiting for your reply .
