Nothing is happening on clicking Settings

Sorry, I missed this. I’ll look.

[christocracy]

I don’t have a problem in the demo app.

this is pure native code controlling this. It has nothing to do with JavaScript or react-native.

@christocracy This is the bug i'm seeing from Xcode logs, can you check:

BUG IN CLIENT OF UIKIT: The caller of UIApplication.openURL(_:) needs to migrate to the non-deprecated UIApplication.open(_:options:completionHandler:). Force returning false (NO).
