android – AppsFlyer Deferred Deep Link Give me old Deeplink on Reinstall through UDL

I am testing the deferred deep linking feature of AppsFlyer, but I’m unable to get a new deep link to attribute correctly after a re-installation. The SDK seems to be caching the data from the initial install.

Steps to Reproduce

1. I have not yet installed the app on my test device.

2. I click on an AppsFlyer OneLink (Link A).

3. Since the app is not on the Play Store, I manually install a debug APK of my application from Android Studio.

4. Upon opening the app, the onDeepLink UDL (Unified Deep Linking) method is called, and I successfully receive the deferred deep link data for Link A.

5. I immediately uninstall the app from the device.

6. I repeat the process, but this time I click a different OneLink (Link B).

7. I reinstall the app from Android Studio.

   My Question

   Why is AppsFlyer not re-attributing the second install to the new deep link (Link B)? What is the correct procedure to fully reset the device’s state and simulate a new user for a deferred deep link test on the same device?

Expected Behavior

1. I expected the onDeepLink method to provide me with the deferred deep link data for Link B, as I clicked a new link with the app uninstalled.

   Actual Behavior

   On the second install, the onDeepLink method is called, but the DeepLinkResult object contains the data from the original Link A. The status is also incorrectly reported as an organic launch.

   It seems like AppsFlyer is not clearing the attribution data after the uninstall, leading to it incorrectly returning the old data and misreporting the attribution type.
