IOS url type doesn't work on React Native when using action-native-safari-view
I have set up a url for my application in Xcode. For the purposes of the question, I've removed the actual package IDs.
My Bundle project id is com.domain.foo .
I have a simple web page that simply redirects in three ways:
window.onload = function() {
window.location.href="myschemereceiver://foo=bar";
window.location="myschemereceiver://foo=bar";
window.open("myschemereceiver", "_self");
}
However, when I load the embedded Safari View url using this package, it does not redirect my application.
When I load the page in Safari, it redirects my application.
Edit
Whenever I try to redirect a URL type that doesn't exist, Safari throws an error (which is expected). When changing it to a valid type, Safari does nothing, just displays a white screen.

Safari View Controller does not allow you to open the app by clicking the URL inside it. To work around this problem, you need to use a WebView.
However, your application will not launch if the WebView is called directly with myschemereceiver://foo=bar
(since entering the URL directly in the safari address bar does not launch the application). When the user clicks inside the Safari view controller, you need to launch a WebView with the website and the user needs to click on another link, or you will need to use javascript from that website to open the app from there.
