feat: React Native clarification

[weboko]

This is a support request

Problem

I notice that some hackers spend time figuring out how to build React Native application with js-waku only to find themself switching to go-waku or even moving back to browser stack.

Proposed Solutions

Make it clear how js-waku can or cannot be user with React Native:

• [ ] update readme with message that js-waku cannot be used in React Native as of now;
• [ ] add links to example with go-waku;

Next steps:

• [ ] make a simple app with React Native to see what works and what doesn't with js-waku;
• [ ] try running go-waku example to see if it works and gain experience to share later during hackathon with participants (https://github.com/waku-org/go-waku/tree/master/examples/android-kotlin);

Note that there is a bounty for React Native - https://github.com/waku-org/bounties/issues/12

@chaitanyaprem could you point out example where go-waku is used with React Native?

https://github.com/waku-org/waku-react-native/tree/master/example i am aware of. Haven't run this in a while though as we archived this repo.

Do we want for a community member to try to make js-waku work in react native? https://github.com/waku-org/bounties/issues/12

@weboko wdyt?

[weboko]

@fryorcraken I think it should be done by us due to following concerns:

• potential need to fix / change build system;
• any bad UX / runtime troubles;
• gaining some experience in building an example / app so that we can provide better support during hackathons;

Let's close https://github.com/waku-org/bounties/issues/12 and https://github.com/waku-org/pm/issues/124 is already scheduled
