Were you able to get branch.io to work on both Android and iOS? Would you recommend using branch.io for deep linking and deferred deep linking?

seems like branch changed their API since this gist, e.g. branch.getInstance and branch.initSession no longer exist.

Go here for Cordova/Ionic docs: https://dev.branch.io/references/cordova_phonegap_sdk/

can you do the same for ionic 3 ?
