Linking.makeUrl() should use the app.json present at binary creation

[nrblum01]

Continuing the discussion from Kind-of-Bug: Linking.makeURL():

@nthgol

I noticed that Linking.makeURL(), for standalone apps, is determining the url based on the app.json of the last Over-the-air build, rather than the app.json that built the binary. for this reason, if you change the scheme key in app.json between over-the-air updates, linking will break down.

Most of the time, if you built a binary, you will want the link to be anchored to that scheme. Is it at all possible to change this behaviour ? I know it’s probably hard.

I just wanted to reopen this because I had the same question. Perhaps someway to directly access the underlying url scheme?
