Feature Request: Official React Native Compatibility for near-api-js

[onsocial]

I’m developing an Expo/React Native app and hit two compatibility issues with near-api-js due to Node.js-specific imports, which React Native doesn’t support. These suggest a broader need for official React Native compatibility.

Issue 1: @near-js/providers and http

• File: node_modules/@near-js/providers/lib/fetch.js
• Error: Attempts to import http, failing in React Native.
• Workaround: Patched locally to use fetch.

Issue 2: @near-js/accounts and crypto

• File: node_modules/@near-js/accounts/lib/local-view-execution/runtime.js
• Error: Attempts to import crypto, failing in React Native.
• Workaround: Polyfilled with expo-crypto for getRandomValues and subtle.digest.

Mobile apps are key for blockchain adoption, and React Native is a popular choice. Native support would make NEAR more accessible to mobile devs.

Happy to help test or contribute if needed!
