Email app is not opening on android #6369

drewvolz commented 2 years ago

Pixel 6 does not open the email app when tapping:

Settings > contact us
Building hours > suggest an edit > report a problem > submit report
SIS > open jobs > job detail > email
Probably more I am not thinking of e.g. native directory (not presently merged)

From debugging I have experimented with:

replacing react-native-community/email with @frogpond/openUrl.

The email app will open when we pass our openUrl wrapper the following url

mailto:${to}?cc=${cc}&bcc=${bcc}&subject=${subject}&body=${body}

If we did choose to go with our wrapper over RNC's, we should add more error checking and data sanitizing. Mainly making sure we call

encodeURIComponent().join(',') on to, cc, and bcc,
and encodeURIComponent() on subject and body.

We can avoid calling encodeURIComponent because Linking should automatically handle uri encoding for us.
