    I am trying to test deep linking but I am running into some weird results.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. <intent-filter android:label="@string/app_name">
    2.             <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    3.             <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    4.             <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    5.             <data android:scheme="scheme"
    6.                   android:host="host"
    7.                   android:pathPrefix=""
    8.                 />
    9.         </intent-filter>
    I have my android manifest set up with the correct intent filter and I can verify this by building the app in android and clicking the deep link on my phone. That works.

    However, after building to quest, when I open the webpage that hosts my deep links and click on of the links, it doesn't work.

    The strange part is that if I use ADB to launch my website that is holding these deep links, then I am able to click on the link and it will work to open the app.

    I run this command 

    
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d http://www.{hosted-links}.com

    and then I am able to follow the links to the app.

    so what is different
    Like would doing this "android.intent.action.VIEW " prep the browser in a way that just going to the site doesn't?
