Is there any plans to add WebCrypto API to React-Native?

[pedrouid]

A lot of quick hacks and libraries try to either polyfill or build their own solutions for crypto but browsers already have a good library that is super performant for cryptography.

Is there any plans to add WebCrypto API to the React-Native environment?

Can you run react-native info and edit your issue to include these results under the Environment section?

If you believe this information is irrelevant to the reported issue, you may write [skip envinfo] under Environment to let us know.

We are using GitHub issues exclusively to track bugs in React Native. GitHub may not be the ideal place to ask a question, but you can try asking over on Stack Overflow, or on Reactiflux. You may also use discuss.reactjs.org/ to discuss best practices.

This might be a better question to post here:

It's a good question, but I think given the emphasis on keeping the core RN library "slim", I expect the best answer will be for the community to endorse a react-native-crypto library. This can then have its own release cycle and support multiple RN releases.
