`Linking.openURL` throws an error with formatted phone numbers on iOS

[Illu]

Description

There seems to be a regression with the Linking.openURL where formatted phone numbers that include spaces will throw the following error while testing on a iOS device:

Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 4):
Error: Unable to open URL: file:///private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/4D059EA1-34C4-4242-BFA0-068098E749C6/test.app/tel:(418)%20000-0000

Steps to reproduce

This only occurs on an iOS Device (not a simulator)

Trying to call Linking.openURL with a phone number that contains spaces won't work (ex: tel:(418) 000-0000), while sending only numbers will work as expected (ex: tel:4180000000)

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository

Test this snippet running on a iOS device:

<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => Linking.openURL('tel:0000000000')}>
    <Text>This will work</Text>
 </TouchableOpacity>
 <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => Linking.openURL('tel:(418) 000-0000')}>
     <Text>This will throw an error</Text>
 </TouchableOpacity>
