What are the best practices for deep linking in React Navigation?

Deep linking in React Navigation allows users to navigate directly to specific screens in your app. Best practices include using a consistent URL scheme, handling both incoming links and app state, and testing deep links thoroughly.

Can you explain how to set up deep linking in a React Native app?

To set up deep linking, you need to define your URL scheme in the app configuration, use the Linking API to handle incoming links, and configure your navigation stack to respond to those links.

What are some common pitfalls to avoid when implementing deep linking?

Common pitfalls include not handling app state correctly, failing to test links on both iOS and Android, and not providing fallback options for users who may not have the app installed.

How can I test deep links in my React Native application?

You can test deep links using tools like the command line for Android (adb shell am start -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d 'yourapp://path') or using Xcode for iOS. Additionally, you can use the React Native Debugger.
