react-native-simple-intent-linking

A lightweight React Native module to easily handle Android intent:// links — typically used to launch other apps like PASS, Kakao, or other deep links.

✅ Supports:

• Android intent:// links (custom app launch)
• Fallback to React Native's Linking on iOS
• Automatic platform handling with clean API

📦 Installation

yarn add react-native-simple-intent-linking

This module is written in Kotlin and supports autolinking (React Native 0.60+).

🚀 Usage

Import the module

import SimpleLinking from 'react-native-simple-intent-linking';

📲 Open an Android Intent URL

await SimpleLinking.openURL(
    'intent://...your_intent_link'
);

• If the target app is installed, it will be launched.
• On iOS or non-intent:// links, it will fall back to Linking.openURL.

✅ Check if the intent link is valid

const canOpen = await SimpleLinking.canOpenURL(
  'intent://...your_intent_link'
);

if (canOpen) {
  // You can safely open the link
}

🧩 Platform behavior

| Platform | Behavior | |----------|----------| | Android | Uses native Kotlin module to handle intent:// schemes via startActivity() | | iOS | Falls back to Linking.openURL() since intent-style URLs are not used |
