This PR replaces the library used for UUID generation. The
react-native-uuid
library, which relies onMath.random
, is replaced with theuuid
library, which utilizesCrypto.getRandomValues()
for cryptographically secure random values.List of Changes
react-native-get-random-values
polyfill to useCrypto.getRandomValues()
Motivation and Context
This change is required to enhance the security of UUID generation. The previous library,
react-native-uuid
, uses a pseudo-random generator based onMath.random
, which is not suitable for cryptographic purposes. The new library,uuid
, usesCrypto.getRandomValues()
, providing a higher level of randomness and security.How Has This Been Tested?
All functionality should work as before
Warning
Not tested on iOS
