Linking.openURL('tel:xxxxx') doens't work in React Native iOS 0.72 iOS

Question

The following Linking.openURL method

const phone_number = '(800) 321 123 122'
Linking.openURL(`tel:${phone_number}`)

is not working on React Native 0.72, but worked on some earlier versions.

One needs to add // to prefix, e.g.

Linking.openURL(`tel://${phone_number}`) 
Linking.openURL(`maps://...`)
