Sometimes this error appears if you provide an url without http:// or https://

You cannot assume you can open any URL, you must follow this procedure.

Linking.canOpenURL(url).then(supported => {
  if (!supported) {
    console.log('Can\'t handle url: ' + url);
  } else {
    return Linking.openURL(url);
  }
}).catch(err => console.error('An error occurred', err));
