I just followed the guide in the expo documentation but still don't know why this problem is occurring. Need a clear explanation on this. And also what is atob variable?

Answer 1

I have tried downgrading but that's not resulted as a solution to me. I don't know why.

The global import of base64 in the app.js resolved this problem.

import {decode, encode} from 'base-64'

if (!global.btoa) {  global.btoa = encode }

if (!global.atob) { global.atob = decode }

Thanks for your responses.
