[React-Native] triggers uuid crash when feature with impression data enabled is used with `isEnabled`

Hey, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will raise the issue with the team.

Thank you for the quick response and diagnosis @nunogois! I'll check the impression data toggle and post the result here. Just checked proxy-client-react-native and it's an exciting addition to the project. Looking forward to the update!

[update] Yes you are right, it was caused because we had the impression toggle on👍 I'll leave this issue until some fix goes in place but feel free to close it if you wanted!

Hey @Kei-Neurio - Thanks for confirming this!
Our decision for now was to add this React Native/Expo SDK PoC to our Community SDK list here: https://docs.getunleash.io/sdks#community-sdks
If we see it gains traction, we'll probably give more attention to it and promote it to an official SDK. In the meantime, for anyone not using it, there's still the workaround mentioned above.

We'll close this issue for now, but please feel free to reach out to us at anytime 🙂

Hi @Kei-Neurio thanks for opening this issue and providing detailed information.

From our tests reproducing the bug it seems like this may not be name-related, but instead impression-data-related. We had no issues with password-named feature toggles, but we did have this issue with features that had impression data enabled.

Can you please confirm this? This can be easily changed in Unleash by going to the specific Feature Toggle > Settings > Feature information (edit) > Enable impression data toggle.

Easiest way to fix this for end-users would be to install and add import 'react-native-get-random-values' at the top of their React Native / Expo app, like mentioned here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/uuid#react-native--expo

---

My suggestion, however, would be to have a specific proxy-client-react-native package, extremely similar to proxy-client-react but with any specific React Native / Expo caveats built-in, providing more of a plug and play experience for end-users.

Here's a quick PoC: proxy-client-react-native

I'll check with the rest of the team on the best way forward regarding this and will let you know 🙂
