No longer working on android

[ahtokca]

When I use openInbox then I see in the logcat

 AppsFilter: interaction: PackageSetting{62a2d58 app.package/10165} -> PackageSetting{5566446 com.google.android.gm/10132} BLOCKED

Looks like it is broken by recent security changes on android

Please ensure to follow the instructions in the README to whitelist your application for opening email apps.

@tschoffelen thanks for the rapid answer. but please don't jump to conclusions. The package stopped working out of the blue. I checked https://github.com/includable/react-native-email-link#readme and found nothing about any whitlist. Could you please help me sort it out?

Please ensure to follow the instructions in the README to whitelist your application for opening email apps.

Well it requires QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission on android 30+ (which is not in here). It seems like whitelisted query is not good anymore :( The permission is a big thing to get approved nowadays.

[tschoffelen]

That is weird, the query as is used to work fine on Android 11 and 12.

You wouldn't want to switch to query_all_packages permission though, rather you'd specify each of the individual packages (email clients) you wish to support. We do something similar for iOS: https://github.com/includable/react-native-email-link/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L48

And apologies for being a bit too over-eager in closing this issue!

@tschoffelen figured out. That's some how stale version in node_modules/ without queries in manifest so npm ci helped works now

@tschoffelen it can be closed, version 1.14 works just fine. For it was something with upgrading from 1.10 to 1.14 what went wrong
