Open email application using expo-intent-launcher

Issue

I am using expo intent launcher to open email application in android devices (open mail only/not compose email)

https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v43.0.0/sdk/intent-launcher/

and it is working fine using expo-intent-launcher version ~9.1.0, but after upgrading the expo-intent-launcher to version ~10.0.3 it does not work anymore. because the parameter is changed.

before upgrading

expo-intent-launcher version ~9.1.0

after upgrading

expo-intent-launcher version ~10.0.3

Here's the pre defined constant:

ActivityAction: https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/main/packages/expo-intent-launcher/src/IntentLauncher.ts

I got confused how to put this 'android.intent.action.MAIN' to the parameter because it's not listed in the enums and it doesn't accept string.

how can I fix my code so it will work in the newer version?

expo-intent-launcher version ~10.0.3

Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

Solution

Actually I find the solution by myself.

I was using Expo SDK 43, when upgraded to Expo SDK 45, the expo-intent-launcher also upgrdaded to version ~10.2.0,

https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v45.0.0/sdk/intent-launcher

in that version the activityAction parameter is now accepting string, instead of only Enums.

So the solution is just upgrade to Expo SDK 45.
