/**
 * `LinkingIOS` gives you a general interface to interact with both, incoming
 * and outgoing app links.
 *
 * ### Basic Usage
 *
 * #### Handling deep links
 *
 * If your app was launched from a external url registered to your app you can
 * access and handle it from any component you want with
 *
 * ```
 * componentDidMount() {
 *  var url = LinkingIOS.popInitialURL();
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * In case you also want to listen to incoming app links during your app's
 * execution you'll need to add the following lines to you `*AppDelegate.m`:
 *
 * ```
 * - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {
 *   return [RCTLinkingManager application:application openURL:url sourceApplication:sourceApplication annotation:annotation];
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * And then on your React component you'll be able to listen to the events on
 * `LinkingIOS` as follows
 *
 * ```
 * componentDidMount() {
 *   LinkingIOS.addEventListener('url', this._handleOpenURL);
 * },
 * componentWillUnmount() {
 *   LinkingIOS.removeEventListener('url', this._handleOpenURL);
 * },
 * _handleOpenURL(event) {
 *   console.log(event.url);
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * #### Triggering App links
 *
 * To trigger an app link (browser, email or custom schemas) you call
 *
 * ```
 * LinkingIOS.openURL(url)
 * ```
 *
 * If you want to check if any installed app can handle a given url beforehand you can call
 * ```
 * LinkingIOS.canOpenURL(url, (supported) => {
 *   if (!supported) {
 *     AlertIOS.alert('Can\'t handle url: ' + url);
 *   } else {
 *     LinkingIOS.openURL(url);
 *   }
 * });
 * ```
