crash on iOS 11

We have Polkadot.js integrated in react-native, but it crashes under iOS 11.

It should be that iOS 11 isn’t compatible with wasm. Can we don’t use wasm? Or is there a way to make it compatible?

Here is the log:

From 2.0 onwards (in beta as of now), you can do the following to ensure it always takes the asm.js path on RN. In package.json -

"react-native": {
  "@polkadot/wasm-crypto/wasm/bytes": "@polkadot/wasm-crypto/wasm/bytes-empty"
}

This basically instructs the init path to supply empty WASM bytes, which will skip that path and go into fallback immediately. By default it, regardless of platform, it will still try WASM and if it fails, will fallback to asm (if available), that doesn’t change. With the above you can force it to only use asm.js in all cases.

(The package already applies an wasm/asm-empty -> wasm/asm mapping on RN, as linked above - however that can be applied on other plaforms as well should you wish to use the asm.js version as fallback, or to skip WASM completely as above)
