Universal/deep links (without a custom scheme) in iOS simulator?

Ive got Universal/deep links (without a custom scheme) working in my live iOS app. However when I test links in the iOS simulator they don’t open the Expo app. Is there a way to make this happen? It quite hard to work on this feature otherwise.

@jamesweblondon Did you ever figure out a solution? We are running into the same problem and wish there was at least some clear advice.
