Add placeholder index.js file So that the Expo plugin module resolution works. Fixes #96 — committed to jkimbo/react-native-email-link by jkimbo 2 years ago

Hey @RicardoBrito1938

I successfully used a mix of 2 libraries to make it work on iOS and Android with Expo (no plugins required) react-native-email-link and expo-intent-launcher using pure JavaScript

The code is available here https://davidl.fr/blog/react-native-expo-email-app

for iOS it opens the Apple Mail app even if another email app is installed (I tested with sparks). I guess it’s kind of okay for now until the plugin solution works everywhere 😅

For people experiencing this problem and it blocking them from using the library, here is a temporary solution:

Remove the plugin from your Expo config file.
Follow the old instructions to enable on iOS.

If anybody with more Expo experience than me has a solution for this issue, please do let me know/submit a PR. Keen to get this resolved, but I don’t have the knowledge/time to do so!
