App launch from URL scheme very slow

[Pete Miller]

I have a Xamarin project in which the app can be optionally launched via a URL scheme from another app. On Android, when I launch the app by tapping the icon, the launch screen appears for about 5 seconds then the app appears, but when I launch from another app via URL, the launch screen sits for 25-30 seconds before the app runs. I don't see a similar problem on the iOS version.

I'm using the method and code provided in the Android docs to open the app via URL.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
