If I understand correctly you managed to fix the issue yourself?

This caught me too, probably should be made more obvious in docs, since when using Linking.openUrl ,
navigating to an internal link automatically closes the browser.

Hi, I'm trying to do this, but I can't figure it out how.
I have a basic html page and I have a link that should return to the app via a Url Scheme.
This is the function I use to open the view

const onOpen = () => {
    SafariView.show({
      url: 'http://localhost:8000',
    })
      .catch(() => {
        // Fallback WebView code for iOS 8 and earlier
      });
  };

I don't understand how to trigger the dismiss event from the webpage.

@aless10 you have to use the react Linking api to intercept your url scheme, and from there you can invoke SafariView.dismiss() to close the safari view.

Hi @koenpunt (thanks for the reply). So I guess I need to add this code inside the component?

const _handleOpenURL = (e) => {
    SafariView.dismiss()
  }

// Took this from an example on how to use Linking events
 React.useEffect(() => {
    Linking.getInitialURL().then((ev) => {
      if (ev) {
        _handleOpenURL(ev);
      }
    }).catch(err => {
      console.warn('An error occurred', err);
    })
    Linking.addEventListener('url', _handleOpenURL)

  }, []
  )

Consider that I have a link inside the page I'm opening that points to the application (eg myapp://). It works when I open the browser, but it does not work with the SafariView.
It looks like the Linking event handler does not work, but maybe I'm missing something here.
I think that when I manage to fix this I will open a PR to close this issue and add it to the documentation?
