Description

I'm trying to implement deep linking in my app but there are some inconsistencies between React Navigation's doc, React Native's and Android's which makes me feel confusing. For example, in https://reactnavigation.org/docs/en/deep-linking.html#android-1 it's talking about "Set launchMode of MainActivity to singleTask" with a link to the respective Android doc page, however there's no mentioning about this over there and the XML code snippet looks quite different; same is also true for the iOS section, the snippet given in https://reactnavigation.org/docs/en/deep-linking.html#ios-1 was outdated according to https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking

Someone in the know may wanna look into this and update the docs.
