(React Native) How to share a message to a particular person on LinkedIn

Question

I'm working on a react-native app in which I need to share a message with a particular person/friend/connection on LinkedIn.

I tried react-native's Share component but when I select the LinkedIn app to share my message, it just post the message to my profile wall (and not sending it to a particular connection).

Other apps like Facebook Messenger for example, when I select Share with Messenger it allows me to send the share message to the user(s) I select.

For me you have 3 possibilities:

• To find the right Linkedin App callback url (ex: linkedin://profile?id=[id]), my answer on this question should help you.
• To look if using the react-native-share dependency can help you.
• To implement and use a Native Module with the Linkedin SDK.
