Hi, I've moved this issue over from the supabase repo as its flutter related.

This is effectively a duplicate of #941, but since this is bad for developer experience when having the stop on caught exception setting turned on in vscode, I would propose we do a breaking change and bump the app links dependency. This way we don't have to support both apis.<
@dshukertjr What do you think?
