Description of the problem

After updating to 11.0.0 in a React Native project I am getting this error:

 ERROR  Error: Unable to resolve module crypto from /Users/mihai/Desktop/Repos/myapp/node_modules/uuid/dist/cjs/rng.js: crypto could not be found within the project or in these directories:
  node_modules
  2 | Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });
  3 | exports.default = rng;
> 4 | const crypto_1 = require("crypto");
    |                           ^
  5 | const rnds8Pool = new Uint8Array(256);
  6 | let poolPtr = rnds8Pool.length;
  7 | function rng() {

Looks like it tries to use the crypto module which is not available in a React Native environment. Also I see there were some React Native instructions in README about the need to install react-native-get-random-values that were removed in 11.0.0.

Is 11.0.0 not supported in React Native, or we need to use some additional polyfill for using it?

Recipe for reproducing

- Pull this minimal reproducible example: https://github.com/mlazari/uuidrepro
- Install dependencies with `npm install`
- Run the app with `npm run android` and see the error on app start
- Switch to the v10 branch (which has the previous version 10.0.0 of uuid) and re-run the steps above, see that there are no errors and it's showing an uuid properly
