Expo-managed react native "eject" (or prebuild) build error (duplicate symbols)

[aureat]

Bug When you run on a physical device with expo run:ios, the error says ld: 12 duplicate symbols.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Follow the exact same steps from the official React Native Tutorial https://veramo.io/docs/react_native_tutorials/react_native_1_setup_identifiers
2. Run npx expo prebuild --platform ios
3. Change deployment target to > iOS 13.4
4. Run npx expo run:ios --device, run on a physical device

Observed behaviour All of the build phases go through as below:

› Executing expo-random Pods/ExpoRandom » Copy generated compatibility header
› Compiling Pods/Pods-VaulletMobile » Pods-VaulletMobile-dummy.m
› Packaging Pods/Pods-VaulletMobile » libPods-VaulletMobile.a
› Executing VaulletMobile » [CP] Check Pods Manifest.lock
› Executing VaulletMobile » Start Packager on http://localhost:8081
› Executing VaulletMobile » [Expo] Configure project
› Copying   ios/VaulletMobile/Supporting/Expo.plist ➜ ./Expo.plist
› Compiling VaulletMobile » SplashScreen.storyboard
› Compiling VaulletMobile » main.m
› Compiling VaulletMobile » VaulletMobile_vers.c
› Compiling VaulletMobile » AppDelegate.mm
› Preparing VaulletMobile » Info.plist
› Linking   VaulletMobile » VaulletMobile

Until in the last phase it results in a build error with ld: 12 duplicate symbols.

Expected behaviour I have tested veramo with another expo-managed react native project, it worked, compiled, and ran perfectly. This error started popping up within the last 48-72 hours.

Update The duplicate symbols are coming from @unimodules/react-native-adapter, depended on by isomorphic-webcrypto. Here's the appropriate code from my package-lock.json:

    "node_modules/isomorphic-webcrypto": {
      "version": "2.3.8",
      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/isomorphic-webcrypto/-/isomorphic-webcrypto-2.3.8.tgz",

its possible to remove the dependecy of isomorphic-webcrypto in DidCom ? Cause its need to Migrate to Expo-Modules for Expo SDK 43 and newer, and not use unimodules-core but expo-modules instead.

sadly we can't remove isomorphic-webcrypto as we don't have an alternative yet

@vadimchilinciuc @aureat maybe if enough people insist here: https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-ciphers/issues/12 we could get a pure JS implementation. I believe AESKW is the last algorithm for which we don't have multi-platform alternatives and that is a requirement in didcomm
