Summary

Note: This is a dummy app created by create-expo-app, nothing really changed except I added expo-dev-client and updated the scheme to expobug in app.json.

Reproduction steps:

1. yarn install
2. npx expo run:ios
3. Verify the app is properly opened and functioning
4. Navigate to Home tab
5. npx uri-scheme open expobug://explore --ios

Expected Behavior:
App navigates to Explore tab

Actual Behavior:
The simulator is popping up a modal asking for user permission, once confirmed, nothing happened.
App does not navigate to Explore tab.

Additional Context:

1. When the app is closed, using npx uri-scheme open expobug://explore --ios will open the app, but not navigating to the right page
2. When the app is killed, using npx uri-scheme open expobug://explore --ios will be pop up the development client and asking users to pick an app, it will be able to navigate to the right page.
