What is the approach to simulating branch IO in react-native?

edit

To simulate branch IO in react-native, follow the steps below:

1. Install the react-native-branch package using npm or yarn.

2. Import the package in your app's entry point.

3. Initialize the Branch SDK with your Branch API key.

4. Create a Branch universal object, which is a description of the content or action you want to track.

5. Add metadata to the universal object, such as title, description and image URL.

6. Set the canonical identifier of the content, which is a unique identifier that does not change.

7. Generate a short URL that can be shared with others.

8. Attach the universal object to a share sheet to enable sharing via various channels.

9. Implement deep linking to handle and route users from the shared link to the appropriate content in your app.

10. Use Branch's analytics dashboard to track user activity and conversions.

By following these steps, you can simulate branch IO in your react-native app and track user activity and engagement.
