Not able to consistently launch another activity from the LauncherActivity

[Thullner]

Describe the bug Whenever I start another activity from my MyAppLauncherActivity it doesn't seem to start.

I can however get the other activity to start if I use a debugger, and do a "stepover" over the startActivity(). Another option is to delay the start of the activity. However this works very randomly (like 50% of the time). This is independent of the contents of the cameraActivity. Even if it just contains Logs it has the same issue.

Code

package com.my-app.android

import android.content.Intent
import android.net.Uri
import android.os.Bundle
import android.os.Handler
import android.os.Looper
import com.google.androidbrowserhelper.trusted.LauncherActivity

class MyAppLauncherActivity : LauncherActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        intent?.data?.let { uri ->
            if (uri.scheme == "my-app" && uri.host == "capture-invoice") {
                val cameraIntent = Intent(this, CameraActivity::class.java).apply {
                    data = uri
                }

                Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed({
                    startActivity(cameraIntent)
                }, 100)
            }
        }
    }

    override fun getLaunchingUrl(): Uri {
        return Uri.parse("https://web.acc.my-app.dev")
    }
}

Expected behavior Expected is to start the other activity without needing a delay, and it starting every time.
