Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.os.Parcelable android.content.Intent.getParcelableExtra(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

[zgordon02]

Our app is bare workflow expo app. When invoking a universal link, segment is crashing the app. I've included the logcat logs below.

This happens even when I do not initiate the segment client in the JS layer. I am not setting trackDeepLinks to true either.

• analytics-react-native version: 2.19.2
• Integrations versions (if used):
• React Native version: 0.74.3
• iOS or Android or both? Android - Observed on older Android versions 8/12, not in 14/15

Steps to reproduce
Invoke any universal link https://{mydomain}/path

Expected behavior
Not crash

Actual behavior
Crashes

It's worth noting that we only see this behavior on older Android versions. I have seen it on Android 8 and 12. It works fine on 14 and 15. Updated the post to reflect this
