Base64 encoding doesn't work in Safari's web workers
See original GitHub issueReported here:
https://github.com/kaepora/miniLock/issues/53
It turns out in Safari atob and btoa are not available in web workers:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55663
Not sure if we should re-implement base64 ourselves or just wait for Safari to fix it (probably the latter). Until then, it’s good to have this issue opened so that people know about this and use something else for base64 encoding if they use web workers in Safari.

For everyone’s information, this was recently fixed in WebKit https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158576
@mdp React Native doesn’t use Webkit, it just uses JavaScriptCore, which is a wrapper around Webkit’s Javascript engine. That also means that you won’t have secure random number generator, so unless you’ve implemented one yourself, TweetNacl won’t even work under React Native.
