For some reason, the linking feature to open a whatsapp contact is not working on iOS (it works perfect on Android), i followed the guide on this url for the setup https://reactnative.dev/docs/linking but always when i try to push the button that calls to whatsapp app to write a message directly, the app says something like:
Could not open this link, please review it and try again
The button in my screen app is this
openWhatsappUrl = () => { const url = 'whatsapp://send?phone=+XXXXXXXXXXX'; Linking.canOpenURL(url).then((supported) => { if (supported) { Linking.openURL(url); } else { Alert.alert('Alert','WhatsApp is not installed', ); } }); };// This is on the render section from my screen<DefaultButton title="¡Say Hi!" containerStyles={styles.centeredButton} onPress={() => this.openWhatsappUrl()}/>The AppDelegate.m file has this configuration
#import <React/RCTLinkingManager.h>...- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey,id> *)options{ return [RCTLinkingManager application:application openURL:url options:options];}The Info.plist file
<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key><array><string>whatsapp</string><string>fbapi</string><string>fb-messenger-share-api</string><string>fbauth2</string><string>fbshareextension</string></array>React Native version
