Linking module borken on Android

[Gerharddc]

Trying to use the Linking module to open tel or mailto urls on Android fails.

Environment

Environment:
OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.4
Node: 9.11.1
Yarn: 1.5.1
npm: 5.6.0
Watchman: 4.9.0
Xcode: Xcode 9.3 Build version 9E145
Android Studio: 3.1 AI-173.4697961

Packages: (wanted => installed)
react: 16.3.1 => 16.3.1
react-native: https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-27.0.0.tar.gz => 0.55.2

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a blank project
2. Follow the instructions on https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/guides/linking.html
3. Try to use a 'mailto' or 'tel' link

Expected Behavior

It is expected that these links should be properly opened without some sort of crash.

Actual Behavior

Android throws an error and does not open the links.

Thank you for reaching out. I am closing this issue as it appears to be related to Expo. I have failed to reproduce your issue with react-native v0.56.

If this issue still occurs please file an issue at https://github.com/expo/expo

Reproduction code:

export default class App extends Component<Props> {
  openMailTo () {
    Linking.openURL('mailto:test@example.com').catch(err => alert(err));
  }
  openTel () {
    Linking.openURL('tel:0123456789').catch(err => alert(err));
  }  
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Text style={styles.welcome} onPress={this.openMailTo}>Welcome to React Native!</Text>
        <Text style={styles.instructions} onPress={this.openTel}>To get started, edit App.js</Text>
        <Text style={styles.instructions}>{instructions}</Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}
