Phone number or email doesn't open native app
See original GitHub issueDoes pressing a phone number or email to open up their respective apps work? I tried LinkingIOS.openURL("mailto:frank@example.com") but it doesn’t work. It seems to only work with http URL’s even though the LinkingIOS documentation says “To trigger an app link (browser, email or custom schemas)”
Maybe it’s a simulator problem?

Hi @coderdave - you are right, this won’t work in the simulator but if you open it up on your device you should find that it will work exactly as expected. If not, feel free to ping me here and I can look into it further for you. It’s worth noting that the
openURLmethod under the hood is just:[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:URL];, so there’s not really any magic going on there 😄@brentvatne I am trying to do the same thing For Twitter: Linking.openURL(‘https://twitter.com/appi2393’) - it works (Opens the twitter app) Linking.openURL(‘https://www.facebook.com/appi2393’) - doesn’t work it opens the facebook page in browser and not the app Any help is appreciated ?
