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={() => }
onPressLink={uri => Linking.openURL(uri)}
/>

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.

@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

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
