Summary:
This will create a cross-platform and safe way to programmatically open the app's settings into the iOS /Android Settings app.
Right now it's possible to open the app's settings, but _**only for iOS**_ via `Linking.openURL("app-settings:")`
To do the same for Android, you need to either create NodeModule or install a dependency such as [react-native-open-settings](https://github.com/lunarmayor/react-native-open-settings).
Why this new method is useful: since Android 6, app permissions work similar to iOS. It's granular and it's requested in the app runtime.
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/permissions/overview#runtime_requests_android_60_and_higher
> If the device is running Android 6.0 (API level 23) or higher, and the app's targetSdkVersion is 23 or higher, the user isn't notified of any app permissions at install time. Your app must ask the user to grant the dangerous permissions at runtime. When your app requests permission, the user sees a system dialog telling the user which permission group your app is trying to access. The dialog includes a Deny and Allow button.
Thus, if the user checks the **"Never ask again box"** and taps **"Deny"**, for some specific permission, the only way to change the permission is going to the Android Setting app.
And that's where this new method becomes useful. It'll allow our apps to programmatically send the the user to settings app.
Also, `openSettings()` doesn't receive a parameter to redirect to specific subsections of the Settings app because there's no public API to do it on iOS ([there's a way to have, via private API, but it causes the app to get rejected.](https://github.com/mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation/issues/394))
Create `Linking.openSettings()` for iOS and Android;
[General] [add ] - Add openSetting method to Linking module

React Native
Learn once, write anywhere:
Build mobile apps with React.
Getting Started · Learn the Basics · Showcase · Contribute · Community · Support
React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.
- Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
- Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
- Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
- Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.

📋 Requirements
React Native apps may target iOS 9.0 and Android 4.1 (API 16) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.
🎉 Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
📖 Documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.
The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, @facebook/react-native-website.
🚀 Upgrading
Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.
React Native releases are discussed in the React Native Community, @react-native-community/react-native-releases.
