[ Question ] How make copy file from email attachment work when app closed? about react-native-deep-linking HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @esutton, did you add the getInitialURL() method to your app?
This method is called when a deep link launches the app.

componentDidMount() {
  Linking.getInitialURL().then((url) => {
    if (url) {
      Linking.openURL(url);
    }
  }).catch(err => console.error('An error occurred', err));
}

If yes, is componentDidMount being called?
This might also be a misconfiguration in your AppDelegate.m

I'm updating the example to handle this case.

Hi @luisfcofv, no I did not use getInitialURL()

All I had was.

  componentDidMount() {
    Linking.addEventListener('url', this._handleOpenURL);
  },

I will try getInitialURL()

I can see openURL being called in AppDelegate.m. I can copy email attachments to iOS app if app had been launched previously.

Thanks again!

Works great! Thank you @luisfcofv

  componentDidMount() {
    Linking.getInitialURL()
      .then(url => {
        if (url) {
            const event = {};
            event.url = url;
            this._handleOpenURL(event);
        }
      })
      .catch(err => console.error('An error occurred', err));

    Linking.addEventListener('url', this._handleOpenURL);
  },

I don't think your timeout is necessary.

One tip, no need to call this._handleOpenURL inside getInitialURL()
You can have your function as:

import { Linking } from 'react-native'
...
componentDidMount() {
  Linking.addEventListener('url', this._handleOpenURL);
  Linking.getInitialURL()
    .then(url => {
      if (url) {
        Linking.openURL(url);
      }
    })
    .catch(err => console.error('An error occurred', err));
}

Closing this issue :)
