uuid library doesn't work well with expo

[hashjona]

Describe the bug

Error: crypto.getRandomValues() not supported. See https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid#getrandomvalues-not-supported

Reproduction and solution

Use it with any expo app, simply add the react-native-google-places-autocomplete@2.5.7

Solution

After i found the error originating from the uuid library, i checked the latests commits and i noticed it was added recently so i downgraded to 2.5.6 which solved the issue.
i think this should be helpful to fix the issue.

Additional context

react-native-google-places-autocomplete@2.5.7
react-native@0.74.5

I've created a pull request that integrates the react-native-get-random-values polyfill, which should resolve this problem. This addition ensures that the uuid library functions correctly within the React Native environment by providing the necessary crypto functionality.

@Arshiash80
worked with "react-native-google-places-autocomplete": "2.5.6",
but its not good practice.

just npm i --save react-native-get-random-values'

and import this to your index.js file

import 'react-native-get-random-values'
