i was test in react-native 0.55.3 and 0.55.4 . and i am sure Linking.openURL behavior is not consistent with documentation . whenever your choice confirm or cancel . the promise resolve will be done .

Thanks for posting this! It looks like you may not be using the latest version of React Native, v0.53.0, released on January 2018. Can you make sure this issue can still be reproduced in the latest version?

I am going to close this, but please feel free to open a new issue if you are able to confirm that this is still a problem in v0.53.0 or newer.
