A little known feature in Android lets you launch apps directly from a web page via an Android Intent.
npm install --save react-native-chrome-intent
or
yarn add react-native-chrome-intent
import AndroidIntent from "react-native-chrome-intent";
AndroidIntent.openIntent(
"intent://[HOST/URI-path]#Intent;package=[string];action=[string];category=[string];component=[string];scheme=[string];end;"
).then((wasOpened) => {});
