simple-peer: Uncaught Error: Secure random number generation is not supported by this browser
Hello,
I really want to use this library but I receive the error below in the JS console when I try to make the first example working :
Uncaught Error: Secure random number generation is not supported by this browser. Use Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer 11
Tested on Firefox and Chrome, they are up to date of course.
I tried to use the simplepeer.min.js standalone script directly in a <script> tag as well as the browserify method.
Thanks for your help.

Hi @GagnDeep , I actually don’t remember what exactly I had done. I could fix the error with
cryptobut then I believe I got other errors from other node builtins that I did not manage to polyfill properly. In the end I gave up on usingsimple-peerand implemented something based on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebRTC_API/Perfect_negotiation. I did not even save my experiments withsimple-peer; I don’t have the code anymore. I am not that experienced with node and its ecosystem so rewriting stuff felt less frustrating than fixing packaging errors 🙃I have this error, I’m using react-native with expo-go, I’ve created a custom development build with
react-native-get-random-values,crypto,react-native-webcryptorn-nodeify,events,simple-peer… Still getting this errorWARN Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 0): Error: Secure random number generation is not supported by this browser.
