Fix Expo support on Android

Android

Description

Hello,

Expo support in this library is currently broken / incomplete on Android. Specifically, after following the installations steps, onDeepLink handler will not be fired in case the app is backgrounded / running when the deep link is pressed.

This is because for this to work the MainActivity code has to override onNewIntent as specified here: https://dev.appsflyer.com/hc/docs/rn_deeplinkintegrate

However, this is not viable in Expo managed workflow because it involves manually editing native code. A config plugins should be added to modify this code during generation.

So, the expo setup guide is incomplete as it will not work on Android, and a config plugin is missing. Without this config plugin, this library does not support Expo since this critical functionality is missing.

@pazlavi I already talked to support about this, it was not helpful. This is not a "support" ticket, this is an issue with this library that needs to be fixed with code changes.

Additionally, I already fixed the issue in my own project with the linked pull request, so I don't need support because my project is working perfectly. I am opening this issue so that AppsFlyer team is aware that Expo support on Android is broken.

You should remove the support label from this issue and fix this issue, this is not a good look for AppsFlyer. Consider merging my pull request that fixes the issue.
