Codelab: Hands-on with Branch Deep Links, Instant Apps, and Instant Links

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Branch demonstrates a hands‑on Branch SDK integration in Android Studio that wires web → instant app → full app routing, passing context via the show install prompt string and using probabilistic matching to fingerprint clicks. Claims include reducing a ~90% store drop‑off to roughly 40% with deep views/instant apps, real integrations with Ticketmaster and Vimeo, and a sample Branch Monster Factory on GitHub; setup steps live at branch.app.link/droidconsf.
