flutter_branch_sdk VS Pi-hole

...or we could not whitelist branch.io and prevent reddit from using it to track us.

Is there anyone with experience on building referral programs with in app subscription? Or does know some examples? I would like to give for example the referee a 1 year free pro subscription if he gets 3 person to subscribe for a one year pro subscription or maybe 10 persons with a free tier. This should happen cross platform, maybe with the help of tools like revenue cat. And I would like that all of these offers would be self renewables. If possible I would like to not implement an app coin system to solve this problem. I have also read that deep linking with tools like branch.io could help but I have not found a practical tutorial on this topic. I have read this article https://www.revenuecat.com/blog/growth/how-to-build-a-referral-program-for-mobile-apps/ but it is not completely clear.

Yeah , others mentioned that branch.io is a good alternative . I ill check it Thanks Mate.

yep, it was branch.io, I got rid of it

have to sign up with like branch.io or some other service that does link tracking or you can leave it blank. if you have an app or something you can use those sdks to track the full ad->download->signup->etc flow to determine the quality of your campaign audience

I have found on my Pi-Hole logs many calls to branch.io (tracking tool) from my NAS.

Fingers crossed this makes sense, any help at all would be appreciated. Happy to use third-party applications such as branch.io (but I do not believe this would really work past the App Store / Play Store barrier?)

https://branch.io is who they are, seems tons of apps use them

Have published app and app clip to TestFlight, set up AASA file on server, and entitlements in Xcode. It passes validation on branch.io tool, URL passes validation in App Store Connect. But unable to launch app from invocation URL (after first installing on device via TestFlight). Also this is an AR app that uses app code tracking, and it is unable to decode the app clip code currently. Is this expected behaviour until the app is actually live, or should this be working in TestFlight?

Si te preguntas, ¿por qué no usar Adguard o Pihole? 🤔

This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.

Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).

A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Pi-hole to block ads and tracking for my less technically savvy relatives

I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.

Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.

It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.

Adguard [1] is a decent free option.

I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).

Setup a pi-hole.

It's definitely not as simple as installing an app on your phone, but I run a Pi-hole on my home network, and it does block ads in many games.
