firebase_auth sendSignInLinkToEmail() dynamicLinkDomain does not account for full URL prefix of connected hosting domains

[mdrideout]

Bug report

Describe the bug
The FirebaseAuth.instance.sendSignInLinkToEmail() function does not account for the full URL prefix set in the firebase console dynamic links settings for "connected domains" (or any domain serving Firebase hosting content) when generating the dynamic link.

The dynamicLinkDomain parameter does not allow for inclusion of the full prefix or account for it if set in Firebase console.

Tested on iOS.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set up a custom domain dynamic link with a prefix in the firebase console, such as https://example.domain.com/link.
2. Attempt to use sendSignInLinkToEmail() function with values such as:

                        await FirebaseAuth.instance.sendSignInLinkToEmail(
                          email: emailController.value.text,
                          actionCodeSettings: ActionCodeSettings(
                            url: authVerificationUrl,
                            handleCodeInApp: true, // this must be true
                            iOSBundleId: "example",
                            androidPackageName: "example",
                            androidInstallApp: true, // prompts user to install the app on android if not installed
                            androidMinimumVersion: '9',
                            dynamicLinkDomain: "example.domain.com",
                          ),
                        );

Using example.domain.com/link here throws an error.

4. The link is successfully sent to the email address, formed as follows:

https://example.domain.com/?link=https://firebase-app-test-staging.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/action?apiKey%3DAIzaSyBmZjMO6mXay9BOgbBJb_amrjTtAsj-f3k%26mode%3DsignIn%26oobCode%3DwDq1kZptcnd8vX5SqDb9a3PFBVPEGnYdP4zChI8gDgoAAAGBjABG_g%26continueUrl%3Dhttps://example.domain.com/email-link-verify%26lang%3Den&apn=example.domain.app_name&amv=9&ibi=example.domain.app_name&ifl=https://firebase-app-test-staging.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/action?apiKey%3DAIzaSyBmZjMO6mXay9BOgbBJb_amrjTtAsj-f3k%26mode%3DsignIn%26oobCode%3DwDq1....GnYdP4zChI8gDgoAAAGBjABG_g%26continueUrl%3Dhttps://example.domain.com/email-link-verify%26lang%3Den

The link is missing the /link path segment, so it goes directly to the Flutter Web hosted application instead of using the rewrite rules for the path segment. Example hosting rewrite rules:

    "rewrites": [
      {
        "source": "/link/**",
        "dynamicLinks": true
      },
      {
        "source": "!/link/**",
        "destination": "/index.html"
      }
    ]

Expected behavior

The initial part of the link sent to the email address should incorporate the full URL prefix as declared in the firebase console. Either by looking that up in the Firebase console, or allowing it to be specified properly with the dynamicLinkDomain parameter.

Sample project

Example can be replicated with a skeleton flutter app setup with Firebase.

Current Solution

The current solution or workaround is to utilize a *.page.link Dynamic Links url prefix, because domains serving Firebase Web Hosting content do not seem to work.
