Monitoring and actuation of view controller parameters to reach deep states without manual developer intervention

A mobile application development system includes a developer portal configured to receive a copy of a first application from a first developer and provide a routing library to the first developer for incorporation into the first application before distribution. An offline analysis system uses a static analyzer to identify a set of view controllers implemented in the first application and uses a dynamic analyzer to execute the first application and, during execution, monitor messages invoking the set of view controllers and extract selector parameters used to invoke the set of view controllers. The routing library includes instructions that receive a link from an operating system and, based on a view controller name in the link, allocate memory for a view controller object indicated by the link. The instructions further initialize the view controller object based on selector parameters indicated by the link and using the allocated memory.
