There are also places where you have links within paragraphs of text -- perhaps to footnotes, etc. which feel like they should continue to be links as well.  But in general most interactions on mobile apps would be a button rather than a link if it opened a modal or changed a screen or disclosed some content.

To clarify, I was not disputing the existence of links in native apps 
that are actual links / fire up a browser. I was just saying that in 
native apps buttons the line that is usually drawn is different, as 
navigating between different views/parts of the app is also performed 
via buttons (compared to web sites, where navigation is still generally 
performed/should be done via links exposed as links).
