Android 11 / SDK 30 support

It took me a while to figure this out, but when switching to Android 11/Android SDK 30 (i.e. using Expo SDK 41), this library doesn’t work out of the box anymore. The reason is the new Package Visibilty security feature. We’ll have to update our AndroidManifest.xml to explicitly allow querying for other apps.

I’m posting my changes here as it might help others running into the same problem. It would also be great to get some feedback as I’m not able to test all these apps myself. Eventually, once we have confirmed this works as expected, this should probably go in the react-native-map-link documentation.

<manifest package="com.example.app">
  <queries>

      <data android:scheme="dgis" />
    </intent>
  </queries>
  ...
</manifest>

So far I could verify the following apps: google-maps, citymapper, uber, lyft, waze, maps-me

Good point, I’ve added some details:

Thanks!

Ah amazing! Was trying to figure out something similar for a related library, but wasn’t able to test it myself yet.
