Error when deep linking on app boot

[zibs]

Hi Segment,

I'm seeing an error on a deep linking cold boot:

Exception 'key `url` is a NSURL and can't be serialized for delivery.' was thrown while invoking setup on target RNAnalytics with params (
etc...
)

This occurs on the simulator when I boot the app with a command like:

xcrun simctl openurl booted appSchemeName://path/to/link/to

Notably, this doesn't occur when using universal links, and doing something like

xcrun simctl openurl booted https://appSchemeName.com/path/to/link/to

This error is most likely a bug within the Segment RNAnalytics library as it only happens when using the trackApplicationLifecycleEvents flag during init, which causes a crash in the library in this line when it tries to send the _bridge.launchOptions since it seems to have trouble dealing with UIApplicationLaunchOptionsURLKey that our deep link opens with. Hence the error 'key url is a NSURL and can't be serialized for delivery.'

If we disable the trackApplicationLifecycleEvents, it doesn't happen, but I'd like to use that.

Any thoughts here? I can provide more info too if necessary.

relevant packages:

"@segment/analytics-react-native": "^1.3.1",
"react-native": "0.63.3"

I got the same issue.

Any updates here?

when debug, i found they has Assert here http://prntscr.com/v9woko, and when you open with deeplink, the url is handled by launchOptions[UIApplicationLaunchOptionsURLKey] in http://prntscr.com/v9wpqi has NSURL type, so, it doesn't match with type that can be serialized.

Seems like it was fixed in the iOS repo:
Issue: segmentio/analytics-ios#947
PR: segmentio/analytics-ios#962

Hopefully we'll get a new release of the pod and the npm soon 🤞

I've struggled with this issue on 1.3.1 version. After upgrading to 1.3.2 everything works fine 🎉
