💭 Expo Go incompatibility

[Morgandri1]

Question

What strictly forbids react-native-quick-crypto from being used in expo go? it makes testing expo apps infinitely slower, requiring a full build just to test. Am i missing something? Is there an easier way?

What I tried

No response

QuickCrypto Version

0.7.5

try commenting out the throw here and see if it works. That code is 3 years old, and things may have changed.

Hey @boorad, the error seems to be coming from the fact that expo go cant find the module... commenting out the error just breeds new ones :/ Thanks for the suggestion, though

https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/customizing/#using-libraries-that-include-native-code

If you are using the sandbox app, Expo Go, you can only access native libraries that are included in the Expo SDK, or libraries that do not include any custom native code. In contrast, by creating a development build, you can control any part of your app. You can change the native code or configuration that is possible in any other native app. For more details on how to determine if a third-party library depends on custom code, see Using third party libraries.
