Share extension opens up different instance of application

[rutujayewalekar29]

I am using react native share extension on android. When I share from any other app to my app, it launches a different instance of my application even though an application is already running in background. I want the share to open the already existing instance of the application. How do I achieve this ?

use android:launchMode="singleInstance" in tag in AndroidManifest.xml

What about for iOS?

Setting launchMode "singleTask" in AndroidManifest.xml worked for me
