Referring Identity is null when parsing branch link url

See original GitHub issue

After creating sharing url with setIdentity() and link() method, the generated url is not containing the referring_identity or identity. This values are coming as null

Steps to reproduce (on https://cdn.branch.io/example.html):

  1. init()
  2. setIdentity()
  3. link()

Click on the generated link. In Session Info the response doesn’t contain the mentioned info (referring_identity or identity).

I’m going to close this issue out and we’ll determine what to do about the referring_identity internally. Thank you for bringing this to our attention once again!
