Usage in Expo Apps

These instructions are provided to help you configure your Expo app to work with this library. When using Expo there are two workflows: managed and bare. The instructions for each are slightly different.

Managed Workflow

Add the plugin to your app's config file (app.json, app.config.js, or app.config.ts) to have it run during prebuild.

{
  "plugins": ["react-native-map-link"]
}

Bare Workflow

IOS

• See iOS directions.

Android

• See Android directions.

Rebuild your app

Don't forget to rebuild your app after making these changes.

You can usually do so by running expo build.

Confirm AndroidManifest.xml has been updated.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.app">
  <queries>
    <intent>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
      <data android:scheme="geo" />
    </intent>
    <intent>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
      <data android:scheme="waze" />
    </intent>
  </queries>
  <!-- Rest of Manifest -->
</manifest>

Also note that this will only work when building your own standalone app, not when starting your app through the Expo app in the App Store.
