RN0.80.1, ios, Linking.addEventListener and Linking.getInitialURL does not work

[cx5168]

Description

AppDelegate.swift:
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey: Any] = [:]) -> Bool { return RCTLinkingManager.application(app, open: url, options: options) }
Can get the URL of deeplink

info.plist:

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key> <array> <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Editor</string> <key>CFBundleURLName</key> <string>com.testLinking</string> <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key> <array> <string>app-test-linking</string> </array> </dict> </array>

app.js:
Linking.addEventListener('url', ({url}) => {})

Linking.getInitialURL().then((url) => {})

With the correct configuration, the linking API cannot be triggered.
how should i fix it.

Steps to reproduce

1, build
2, npm run ios
3, click deeplink [app-test-linking://...]

Hi @cx5168 can you add repro for the issue using the Reproducer Template

[cx5168]

@atulgpt17
Sorry, because there is invalid code before the listening and processing of linking, so the listening and processing of linking is not registered. As a result, listening processing cannot be triggered.
It's my own code problem. It has been solved. thanks
