Question: react-native webview doesn't support some URL schemes

[Visakeswaran]

react: 16.9.0 react-native: 0.61.5,

ISSUE: I am using react-native-community/react-native-webview, to render a web view in my application. My URL scheme looks something like intent://cdn.glitch.com/ (which is basically a WebAR, that basically opens a 3D model in the space around with help of camera). It throws an error saying ERROR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME.

What I have tried till now:

• Downgraded react-native version to 0.59.0 before WebView module was extracted to react-native-community package and use the WebView component that ships in with 0.59.0. The URL scheme works perfectly in this case, and the WebAR works seamlessly.
• Downgrade the react-native-webview package. Things didn't work in this case.

CONCLUSION: The WebView component that comes up with to react-native 0.59.0 below works fine with the URL schemes, however the react-native-webview package doesn't.

Help Needed:

Is there any way to support such URL schemes? Is there any way to include, the extracted WebView module in the latest version of react-native?
