Deep Links on Android very slow when app open in background

Summary

Problem

When using deep links on Android when the application is open in the background, the average time between when choosing to open a link with app is 5s. During this time, the screen is greyed out and not responsive. This makes the use of deep links impossible.

Expected Behavior

Have the application open instantaneously (or at least in a lot less then 5s…).

Note

This error does not occur in Expo Go.

The application opens properly from the link when it is stopped.

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

Generate a new expo project (I tested with blank and blank (TypeScript) projects):

$ expo init

Add support for a deep link in app.json:

"intentFilters": [
        {
          "action": "VIEW",
          "data": [
            {
              "scheme": "https",
              "host": "example.com",
              "pathPrefix": "/"
            }
          ],
          "category": ["BROWSABLE", "DEFAULT"]
        }
      ]

Build the application (I chose apk and Generate new keystore)

$ expo build:android

Install the .apk, and open the application. With the application open in the background, open https://example.com/.

I was also unable to reproduce the error with the galaxy nexus emulator.
