    Yes, you can use the redirect_uri option for this. The redirect URI you supply doesn't actually need to be an HTML web page. You should use the PKCE option, and use a redirect URI that goes directly to your app, e.g., by using a custom URL scheme that you register for your app.

thanks.

we used  Custom URI scheme  solved the problem.  eg: com.example.app:redirect_uri_path. AppLink requires an HTML page to jump to start the app. However, the deeplink can directly start the app using the Custom URI scheme. The HTML page is omitted.
