Problem with Webview showing Google Photos in Flutter - flutter

Question

I am using flutter_webview_plugin: ^0.3.11
This is my code
Widget build(BuildContext context){
return WebviewScaffold(
url: glbPhotoURL,
withJavascript: true,
scrollBar : true,
withZoom: true
)
url: glbPhotoURL => here glbPhotoURL is a URL that I am passing
When I am using any normal URL it is running fine (like http://www.google.com, http://youtube.com"
Even url like - https://youtu.be/o5UPfG1eIw4 is running fine
But when I am using any google photo url (short url) it is throwing an error net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME for eg - https://photos.app.goo.gl/FkQenAD8kQQc4TSr6
If I am using the expanded URL it shows the pictures -https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNItZG3Cg_hn9__2QnuVh3nNMbRuGxQaQSWZ76qni7L7h0ORbauolcH3AKe0MOnEA?

Please help me resolve the issue
As of now I am running it on Android physical device.

Google Photos uses Firebase Dynamic Links. I suggest launching the link externally. I encountered a similar error on Android before, when Firebase Dynamic Links are being forced to be loaded in a WebView. FDLs are expected to be handled by Google Play Services in Android. But since the WebView doesn't know what to do with the link it's forced to display, the WebView returns "net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME" error.
Open the link externally by using url_launcher. Use RegEx to filter intent URLs and check if the URL can be launched and be handled externally (outside the app).
var yourURL = "URL goes here";
// Check if URL contains Google Photos URL
yourURL.contains(RegExp('^https://photos\.app\.goo\.gl/.*$')){
// Check if the URL can be launched
if (await canLaunch(yourURL)) {
await launch(yourURL);
} else {
print('Could not launch $yourURL');
}
}
