crypto.subtle is undefined on React Native
See original GitHub issuecrypto.subtle is undefined here (and everywhere else even later on) on both iOS and Android.
I’m running react-native@0.53.3 and it was created with react-native init. Tried looking around to find some culprit but haven’t managed to find anything.
Found the culprit, seems that it doesn’t work while remotely debugging. Might have something to do with the code being executed in Chrome.
It seems that msrcrypto runs in a web worker while in remote debugging which causes this to be set to true, which in turn causes this (msrcryptoSubtle) not to be instantiated, ergo undefined everywhere while remotely debugging.

Good find. It’s interesting that remote debugging React Native will run the app’s code in the context of a Web Worker.
An
MSRCRYPTO_FORCE_SYNCglobal variable that serves as an alternative to usingforceSyncseems reasonable, and it minimizes the changes needed tomsrCrypto.Unfortunately anything not listed in @bunea’s msrCrypto list above isn’t supported. The AES-KW algorithms are listed in the legend, but haven’t been tested. The support grid
belowabove the legend shows everything that’s tested.The original issue seems to be fixed, but comment if this is still an issue. Closing for now.
