Deep linking with React, Expo and React-Navigation - reactjs

NOTE: Several questions are there with this topic but non of them matches my requirements.
I am somewhat new to react and react native (not to programming) and trying to create an application with below tech stack.
react-native
react-navigation
Expo
Context (Read if you feel so):
I was implementing login with twitter which is done on my backend server.
User clicks on a button in the app. It opens the WebBrowser (given in expo docs).
Authorization screen appears and user fills and authorize my twitter application.
I have used my server's URL as a callback in my twitter application so twitter finally redirects user to my server.
But to save the information namely access key and secret i need some user information as in who the user is.
An alternative approach could be that callback should be a deeplink redirecting it to the app providing access keys and secret and then my application makes a post request to my server.
In nutshell, i want to implement deeplinks in my application. There are so many articles and docs in react, react navigation and expo and i have read them almost 100 times and really got confused.
It would be great if someone can tell me what are the exact steps for deep links with react navigation, react native and expo

React App with PWA - Changes are not showing after deployment until hard refresh of the pages

We are using React Js and implemented PWA(Progressive Web App) using service workers. After each deployment to the server, the pages are not updated and we need to do hard refresh everytime. This is not the right way since we cannot inform the real time users to do hard refresh after each deployment. So please please solution on how to avoid hard refresh on react app with PWA

Open url in webview React native push notification

I want to develop an app where I can send remote push notifications to react native app. The push notification will contain a url link and when a user clicks on that link, the app should open up that link in the app (webview)
Is this possible with react native or expo?
This is definitely possible, however, there are a number of variables to consider with this in order to give clear direction on how to accomplish the desired outcome. For example, how are you handling push notifications? Expo Push Notifications is pretty simple solution. How are you handling users in your app (are they logging in, subscribing to certain push notifications, anonymous, etc.). This is important information to know what the next steps are.
Here is some documentation from Expo on notifications API:
https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/notifications/

How to deep link login to a React SPA

I'm currently developing a React SPA with a Spring Boot backend API.
For one use case i need to create a dynamic link which contains login credentials for a one-time-User. With this link a user needs to be able to login to the SPA and use it further from outside the application.
This is the first time I'm working with a SPA.
What is the best way to achieve this goal?
I would really appreciate some ideas.
best regards
You probably need to use a Router (like React Router). These cause different components to be rendered in React depending on the current URL, and from there different code can be run (likely from event handlers or useEffect if you're using function components).

How to do better routing and app structure in React Native?

I'm a Java Android developer and been experimenting with React Native lately. What I've been looking into is something similar to the navigation as that of Android Java code.
First, I want to get to SplashScreen. Then check if the user is logged inor not, then take the user into the app or to the login screen.
Now, to achieve this, I need to know if the user is logged in. How do I do that? I don't want to maintain global variables in index.js nor do I want index.js to be the central routing system. Can I store somewhere a flag that says that the user is already logged in, and what's the access-token of the logged in user?
I'm able to visualize this well in native Java code, but failing to figure out how to do in React Native.
In my React Native app, I store all my data in a Redux store. So, when the user initially puts their username and password in the input, I send it up to the server which then sends down an access token. Once I receive the access token, I store this in the Redux store. Therefore, if the user returns to the app later, I just check the Redux store to see if the access token is present. If it is, I know that the user is logged in. I check for the presence of this token all over the place in my app, and further need it for when I make more request to the server.
So to answer your question, you need some way to store the state, and for this I highly recommend checking out the Redux framework which works very well with both React and React Native. http://redux.js.org/
