Linking.getInitialURL() only returns Url base, not path or queryParams

Expo SDK
1

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 37
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android

When I cold open the Expo Client using a deeplink like :
exp://10.0.0.240:19000/--/test/?key=val

Linking.getInitialURL() returns exp://10.0.0.240:19000 and Linking.parse(url) returns

{
  hostname: 10.0.0.240,
  path: null,
  queryParams: {},
  scheme: exp
}

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
Linking.getInitialURL() should return the full URL, with the path and queryParams exp://10.0.0.240:19000/--/test/?key=val)

and Linking.parse(url) should return

{
  hostname; 10.0.0.240:19000,
  path: test,
  queryParams: { key: val },
  scheme: exp
}

I have tried several different variations of the link, inserting/removing ‘/’ in different spots, and I have read just about every StackOverflow and Expo Forums post having anything to do with this function.

The worst part is it worked earlier, then I took lunch, and when I came back, with no changes at all, it didn’t work anymore.

CODE:
App.jsx

async componentDidMount() {
    await this.checkForUpdates();
    const url = await Linking.getInitialURL();
    const { path, queryParams } = Linking.parse(url);
    // Path is null and queryParams is empty
}

...

<AppContainer
  uriPrefix={prefix}
  linking={{prefixes: [prefix]}}
  fallback={<Text>Loading...</Text>}
/>

App.json

"expo" : {
  ...
  "scheme" : "myScheme"
}
