Thanks for opening this issue!

[YousefAlsbaihi]

after hours of searching i actually solved it by

npm i -s import react-native-get-random-values

and then import it before initialize Parse

import 'react-native-get-random-values';
const Parse = require('parse/react-native.js');
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage'
....

i'm sure this is uuid library issue

I'm glad you were able to resolve this issue. The latest version of node has crypto globally available now. uuidjs/uuid#708

Unfortunately I still suffer from this using latest node LTS with parse server and dashboard. Tried the above solution on react-native just to find another issue Native module not found.
Anyone looking into this you also need to npx react-native link. After that all good.
