Managing deep links across modular Android apps can easily lead to broken routes and runtime surprises.This session unpacks Jetpack Navigation 3’s new type-safe deep linking architecture for Compose to help you build a robust and scalable routing system. We'll explore how to implement out-of-the-box deep link matching APIs, write custom serializers for complex type-safe arguments, and construct dynamic hierarchical back stacks that keep user navigation predictable.
