I think there is something to do with getRandomBase64String()

@Justin-Jingcheng-Peng I put some of the suggestions, you can check might be your issue has been solved, Hopefully!!

1. Clearing the Cache: Clear the cache of your React Native project by running the following command in your project's root directory:

npx react-native start --reset-cache

After This Try to Re-Create the Build for the App 2. Check the Hermes: Ensure that the libraries you are using are compatible with the Hermes engine. Some libraries might not work well with Hermes due to its stricter JavaScript engine. If possible install degrade the version, clear the cache, and try again 3. Try to go TypeScript File where you are facing the issue(Mean which Typescript file if you able to figured it): so if possible just add the optional chaining for there.

I am confident your problem might be solved, if not please let me know and add more details of the error. will look on it

having the same issue but only in deployed version.

I solved the problem by importing relativeTime Plugin from dayjs. I used dayjs for timestamps with relative time and forgot to import it in the component.
