react-native-custom-tabs-shim v1.1.0

react-native-custom-tabs-shim

Wrapper for react-native-custom-tabs that allows applinks to be opened in the native app.

It checks if a given url is supported by any extra apps compared to a baseline (http://example.com) and, if so, opens it directly instead.

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-custom-tabs-shim --save

$ react-native link react-native-custom-tabs-shim
