Dependancy isomorphic-webcrypto not compatible with latest React Native

[theblockstalk]

The dependency isomorphic-webcrypto is not compatible with the latest React Native v0.73+ and still depends on the old @unimodules/core and @unimodules/react-native-adapter.

See article here explaining the upgrade: https://dev.to/wbroek/migrate-from-react-native-unimodules-to-expo-modules-25c6

This change has broken when I upgraded from expo v49 (React Native 0.72) to v50 (RN 0.73)

This is causing build errors in upstream repositories that are using the latest RN/expo

Steps to reproduce

npx create-expo-app@latest
# create new app called "my-app"
cd my-app
npm i digitalcredentials/jsonld-signatures
npx expo-doctor@latest

Problem

✖ Check that native modules do not use incompatible support packages
✖ Check that native modules use compatible support package versions for installed Expo SDK

Detailed check results:

Expected to not find any copies of @unimodules/core
Found invalid:
  @unimodules/[email protected]
  (for more info, run: npm why @unimodules/core)
Expected to not find any copies of @unimodules/react-native-adapter
Found invalid:
  @unimodules/[email protected]
  (for more info, run: npm why @unimodules/react-native-adapter)
Advice: Remove any 'unimodules' packages from your project. Learn more: Learn more: https://expo.fyi/r/sdk-44-remove-unimodules

Expected package expo-modules-autolinking@~1.11.0
Found invalid:
  [email protected]
  (for more info, run: npm why expo-modules-autolinking)
Advice: Upgrade dependencies that are using the invalid package versions0.

This project has multiple package manager lock files (yarn.lock, package-lock.json). This may cause EAS build to restore dependencies with a different package manager from what you use in other environments.

One or more checks failed, indicating possible issues with the project.

This is then causing build errors in EAS:

Looks like this is what Sphereon is doing: https://github.com/Sphereon-Opensource/mobile-wallet/blob/f01fe0b6580d2affa0ffc5f0031a737e0b6ecfdb/package.json#L294

package.json

"resolutions": {
  "**/isomorphic-webcrypto": "link:./node_modules/@sphereon/isomorphic-webcrypto",
}

[theblockstalk]

Confirmed working:

yarn add @sphereon/isomorphic-webcrypto

package.json

"resolutions": {
        "isomorphic-webcrypto": "link:./node_modules/@sphereon/isomorphic-webcrypto"
    },
