WalletConnect Example on Expo

This is a simple example how to get WalletConnect up and running with Expo for React Native.

WalletConnect's dependency on Node's crypto package

WalletConnect uses node's built-in crypto package which is not available on iOS or Android. In order to work around this we can use metro.config.js to create aliases for different packages, this idea is from here. This will allow us to use WalletConnect directly from the expo client without having to eject the application.

Getting Started

Please go ahead and install the packages via yarn install, then, run yarn start or expo start. Once the build is complete and opened in the Expo Go app, connect your wallet by pressing the Connect a wallet button.
