Description

Preconditions:

1. You must have android device with 27 API
2. I created new App via react-native init appName
3. Added this option in my AndroidManifest.xml to .MainActivity android:screenOrientation="portrait"
4. Added button with some deeplink
   Linking.openURL('https://www.google.com/maps/dir/api=1&travelmode=driving&origin=10,11&destination=12,11');

Steps:

1. Rotate phone in landscape
2. Open a new app with deeplink
3. Go back to your app

Actual result: 3 rotations before we will see proper portrait screen orientation.
Expected result: one rotation directly in portrait screen orientation without others.

It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.57 and verify if the issue still exists.

The "⏪Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running react-native info on a project using the latest release.

I've followed the exacts same step as the video and the bug doesn't occur on my side so we'll close this issue.

Tested on android 8.0, with your repro folder.
If you manage to submit another repro that would be broken on both side, we'll be happy to open this again.
