Trying to add a link to a text message that will link to open my app. The link is helloapp:// and when that is typed into safari it opens the app. I have used deep linking with React Native to achieve this.

When I insert that into the text it comes up as a string. Is there a way to link to the app with a link? Basically I want to create a hyperlink with this link helloapp://

I have tried link shorteners but it does not recognise the url and will not work.

You need to use Universal Links. I prefer to use Firebase Dynamic Links https://rnfirebase.io/dynamic-links/usage

I followed this to add Universal Link to the app.

Although in the new version of xcode. Adding the Associated Domains is done by clicking the sign to left of capability when on the Signing & Capabilities tab.

This solved the issue without Firebase.
