Question 1

How to add custom icons for React Native quick actions?

Accepted Answer

On iOS, create image sets in Xcode with 1x, 2x, and 3x sizes. On Android, place PNG files in android/app/src/main/res/drawable with underscores in names, as per the README instructions.

Question 2

React Native quick actions vs deep linking libraries?

Accepted Answer

This library is specifically for home screen shortcuts, while deep linking handles URL schemes. For integrated shortcut functionality with deep links, use the url key in userInfo, but additional libraries may be needed for broader routing.

Question 3

How to handle quick actions on app cold launch?

Accepted Answer

Use the popInitialAction method to capture shortcuts when the app starts from a terminated state. This ensures actions are processed even without the app running in the background.

Question 4

Why is my custom data not working on Android shortcuts?

Accepted Answer

Android only supports the 'url' key in userInfo, so other custom data keys are ignored. Structure your payload around URLs or use alternative methods like Redux for state management.

Question 5

Can I use React Native quick actions with Expo?

Accepted Answer

No, it requires native code modifications, so it's incompatible with Expo's managed workflow unless you eject to a bare workflow or use a custom development build.

Question 6

How to test quick actions in an iOS simulator?

Accepted Answer

Ensure 3D Touch is enabled in simulator settings or use a physical device. The isSupported method can check compatibility, but testing may require device-specific features.
