Remove "Open Web Links with Jetpack" feature by jkmassel · Pull Request #22588 · wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android

jkmassel · 2026-02-12T03:20:02Z

Description

Removes the "Open Web Links with Jetpack" feature entirely. This feature allowed WordPress app users to configure web links (wordpress.com URLs) to open in the Jetpack app instead, via an overlay prompt and a settings toggle.

The feature was already disabled — the OPEN_WEB_LINKS_WITH_JETPACK_FLOW build config flag was hardcoded to false — so this change has zero user-facing effect.

Deleted files (6):

DeepLinkOpenWebLinksWithJetpackHelper — main feature helper
OpenWebLinksWithJetpackFlowFeatureConfig — feature flag
OpenWebLinksWithJetpackFlowFrequencyConfig — remote config for overlay frequency
JetpackAppUninstallReceiver — broadcast receiver for Jetpack uninstall events
DeepLinkOpenWebLinksWithJetpackHelperTest — helper tests
DeepLinkingIntentReceiverViewModelTest — VM tests (heavily tested overlay behavior)

Cleaned up (20+ source files, 30+ translated strings):

Build config flags (OPEN_WEB_LINKS_WITH_JETPACK_FLOW, ENABLE_OPEN_WEB_LINKS_WITH_JP_FLOW)
WebLinksDeepLinkingIntentReceiverActivity manifest activity-alias (~157 lines of intent filters)
JetpackAppUninstallReceiver manifest registration
Preference keys, accessor methods, and settings UI toggle
WEB_LINKS deep link entry point and OpenJetpackForDeepLink navigate action
Helper injections and overlay logic in ViewModel, Activity, AppInitializer, WPMainActivity, AppSettingsFragment, MeFragment, ReaderPostPagerActivity
APP_SETTINGS_OPEN_WEB_LINKS_WITH_JETPACK_CHANGED analytics event
Related string resources and translations

Testing instructions

Verify feature removal has no regression:

Install the Jetpack debug build
Open the app, navigate to Me > App Settings

Verify there is no "Open links in Jetpack" toggle

Open a wordpress.com deep link (e.g. adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "https://wordpress.com/read")

Verify the link is handled correctly and opens in the Jetpack app

Install the WordPress debug build
Open the app, navigate to Me > App Settings

Verify there is no "Open links in Jetpack" toggle

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The feature was already disabled (feature flag hardcoded to false) and has no user-facing effect. This removes all associated code: the helper, feature/remote configs, build config flags, manifest activity-alias, preferences, settings UI, analytics event, broadcast receiver, and related tests.
