Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

I find a similar thread about your needs(please search Xamarin Forms App Linking using parameters in SO). It provides the Android and iOS solution about achieve app linking.

For Android, you can refer to this official article to achieve app linking.
