[kalashshah]

Proposal name

Support Expo in the React Native SDK

Describe the Proposal

Find possible solutions to support the package in expo projects. The react-native-fast-openpgp package is the main blocker while integrating in expo projects.

Use Case

Provide support to a partner project with an expo project.

Current Limitations

Currently the React Native SDK only supports react native cli projects.

Since the Pistachio team is looking into the option of ejecting their expo app to react native cli we don't need to do anything further on this ticket.

I am currently trying to install the rn sdk in an expo project. Could you elaborate on the issues you encountered and if/how you resolved them? I am currently running expo with rn 76.3 and encountering multiple issues. I updated the react-native-webview to the newest version and got around a few build errors but the issue now I traced down to openpgp not existing even though it is installed into node_modules. I assume this is a similar issue but am pretty stuck navigating this one. Currently trying to get react-native-fast-openpgp working also but I don't think it has the createMessage method like in openpgp
