Avoid eval for Rollup.js

See original GitHub issue

Hi guys, I’m currently using the branch-sdk with rollup.js but I get the following error:

rollup: Use of eval (in /home/gp2mv3/www/covevent/refonte2/ionic/node_modules/branch-sdk/dist/build.min.js) is strongly discouraged, as it poses security risks and may cause issues with minification. See https://github.com/rollup/rollup/wiki/Troubleshooting#avoiding-eval for more details

Why is eval used ? Isn’t there other solutions ?

@Gp2mv3 after looking into it a little more, we determined that this is most likely caused by using JSON.parse in a couple of locations. We have a safejson.parse method that should be used instead. We will do some testing and hopefully get this fixed in the next deploy. Thanks for notifying us on this!
