Hi all,

I am trying to get the subEntityId from deep link for the teams app, the teams app is built by spfx framework. It works fine on both web and desktop teams client, however when it comes on the mobile client, it didn't work anymore.

This is the way I get the subEntityId, I am using the teams javaScript client SDK

microsoftTeams.initialize(() => {
      microsoftTeams.getContext((c) => {
        this.setState({ state1: c, location: c.subEntityId });
      });
    });

I have also tried the deep link using https and ms teams protocol, it still not working.

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/d4bec247-9ece-404a-8f4a-16f275def087/tasklist123?webUrl=https://tasklist.example.com/123/456&context={%22subEntityId%22:%20%22detail%22}

May I know is deep link for subEntityId is not supported on mobile client? If not, any road map we can have this features?

Thanks all for your help

    Thanks for the prompt reply.

    What we need to do is super simple, just show the subEntityId on the webpart.

    It works fine on the web and desktop client, I can get the "detail" keyword from subEntityId

    However, when it comes on iOS client, it cannot retrieve the value.
