HyperLinks on onPressLink is not working in IOS.

[TajGoud]

In the PDF package, hyperlinks are functioning correctly on Android, but the onPressLink functionality is not working as expected on iOS.

<Pdf source={ description.PrivacyPolicy } onLoadProgress={() => setLoading(true)} onLoadComplete={() => setLoading(false)} trustAllCerts={false} enableDoubleTapZoom={false} style={styles.pdfView} renderActivityIndicator={() => <CustomLoader />} onPressLink={uri => Linking.openURL(uri)} />

Any luck on this?

Please make sure you have installed the right version of @config-plugins/react-native-blob-util,@config-plugins/react-native-pdf, react native pdf and RN.

[TajGoud]

@jasonxbliu we are using the cli.

"react-native": "0.73.6",
"react-native-pdf": "^6.7.5",
"react-native-blob-util": "^0.19.9",

"react-native": "0.73.6",
"react-native-pdf": "^6.7.5",
"react-native-blob-util": "^0.19.9",

What is the version of expo and plugin? As the screenshot I posted, as you use the version of 6.7.5, the right version of expo is expo51. I have encountered the same issue and fixed it until I made all the related version compatible. You can check it again. @TajGoud

I'm using the correct versions. But still facing the issue

Same issue here. It seems to be an issue at the native level. The iOS implementation of this relies on the PDFViewWillClickOnLink of the delegate - whatever that means (I am not very familiar with underlying native patterns) - and it does not get triggered when I tap on a link. So far, I've put logs in a couple of places in the native code in RNPDFPdfView.mm, and am seeing:

• Logging at notifyOnChangeWithMessage - which sends all messages to the JS side - is working
• Logging at handleSingleTap - is working, firing every time I single-tap, whether over a link or not
• Logging at PDFViewWillClickOnLink - is not working.

This is with: iOS 17.5.1 react-native 0.74.2 react-native-pdf 6.7.5 react-native-blob-util 0.19.9

And to be clear - I am not using Expo at all.

The problem actually already pointing out in that PR issue To totally remove this part

    // Disable built-in double tap, so as not to conflict with custom recognizers.
    for (UIGestureRecognizer *recognizer in _pdfView.gestureRecognizers) {
        if ([recognizer isKindOfClass:[UITapGestureRecognizer class]]) {
            recognizer.enabled = NO;
        }
    }

or set recognizer.enabled = YES will fix the issue

@haozxyz Works, thanks

[andywall66]

Yep - that did it - thanks @haozxyz !

so it should be a patch with a fix?

Hi I'm experiencing this same issue with Expo 51 and the required package versions instructed (https://github.com/wonday/react-native-pdf/issues/841#issuecomment-2181865334).

Confirmed that onPressLink is working correctly on Android. Is there a fix or workaround? Thanks!

[a-verma26]

@haozxyz , recognizer.enabled = YES

worked for internal links within the PDF, but it doesn't function for external links. Is there a workaround to enable it for external links as well? Everything is working fine on Android; the issue seems to be only with iOS. External Hyperlinks here means, opening some webpage that are not within the app/pdf. say www.google.com Thanks!

Hello everyone, I created a patch to properly disable double tap. This should solve the issue, until it will be fixed on main.

works on android perfectly

Hi 👋, thanks for working on this! Just wanted to confirm — has this fix been released in a new version of react-native-pdf yet, or is it still pending merge? Can someone confirm if this is resolved in the latest version, or should we manually apply the patch for now?

Still having issues using external links on iOS with onPressLink; it just doesn't run
