从本机iOS应用程序打开另一个应用程序

Question

I tried to use Linking from react native today in order to open mail app on ios from my one, something along the lines of

onPress={() => Linking.openURL('mail://')}

this didn't work and got me into googling spree, I got to this article but it wasn't of any help, hence my question, how can we open another apps from react-native and what is the best way to find the url bit ie mail:// for a specific app?

Update: using mail: as url didn't work out either

Answer 1

You're using the wrong scheme for interacting with the mail app. It's supposed to be mailto .

Try something like this:

Linking.openURL(mailto:email@example.com)

You should also make sure the URL you're trying is supported using the Linking.canOpenURL API.

It's also worth mentioning that some operations won't work in the simulator but only on a real device. Sending an email is one of these operations (another example is making a call using the tel: URL - will also work only on a real device).
