DEEP LINKING TO MOBILE APPLICATION STATES THROUGH PROGRAMMATIC REPLAY OF USER INTERFACE EVENTS

A mobile application development system includes a developer portal that receives a first application from a first developer and provides a routing library to the first developer for incorporation into the first application. An offline analysis system executes the first application and, during execution, monitors a sequence of user interface (UI) events initiated by an operator starting from an initial state and proceeding to a first state. The offline analysis system stores the sequence of UI events as a first data structure corresponding to the first state. The routing library includes instructions that, subsequent to installation of a copy of the first application in a user device, receive a link from an operating system of the user device identifying the first state and, based on the first data structure corresponding to the first state, replay, in order, each UI event from the sequence of UI events to the first application.
