Can you please provide repro steps?

[alejomendoza]

1. Start Next Js project
2. Install Walletconnect
3. Init Walletconnect

@alejomendoza could you try with latest rc.2. Also, better-sqlite3 will only get used on server side (nodejs), so you should

1. Install this dependency as per nodejs guide https://docs.walletconnect.com/2.0/javascript/guides/nodejs
2. Only use sign sdk client side i.e within useEffect. Our wallet example actually uses this exact approach with nextjs https://github.com/WalletConnect/web-examples/tree/main/wallets/react-wallet-v2

I can confirm that the approach of installing better-sqlite3 with

npm install --save @walletconnect/sign-client@rc better-sqlite3

solves the issue.

Closing since this dependency is no longer used.
