There is a solution, But more like a work around so it seems like webview blocking up requests with “intent://” head, as a solution “intent://” can be added to whitelist of the WebView. check the code below,

 <WebView      
      originWhitelist={['intent://']}
      source={{ uri: 'http://10.0.2.2:3000/' }}/>

But the user experience might not be that great as this makes the URL to be opened from the web browser and web browser will the one doing the navigation to the page inside the app
