The Android version of the library uses a native component. Make sure to rebuild the native app, that should work.

what do you mean? I'm testing via expo go here.

That doesn't work unfortunately. There is custom native code needed on Android to open specific email apps using App Intents. See the Expo section in the README for more info. You'll need to compile the app yourself to test the Android side of the functionality.
