play.js - ReferenceError: WebAssembly is not defined

[luwol03]

Hello,

a few weeks ago I downloaded the play.js app on my ipad. With this app I should be able to create node projects. There are already some templates to use for react (uses webpack directly), vue, angular and react native. I am a big fan of create-react-app. So I tried to clone some of my projects, installed the dependencies and tried to start in dev mode. But Its not working, because I got an error: ReferenceError: WebAssembly is not defined. So I searched through the internet for some solution, but I coulndn't find anything related to that. Then I decided to message the play.js team via email which I found on the playjs support page. Now weeks have passed and I have not yet received an answer. But there is a new update with which I also tested out and I get the same error.

I also made an video how I run into this issue.

Steps to reproduce.

1. download play.js app on an apple device
2. create a project and choose https://github.com/luwol03/empty-react-project.git as git repository.
3. resolve the dependencies.
4. start the app.
5. open the browser.
6. see error.

I hope I can get help here.
Have a nice day.

I ran into the same error with my Vue3 + Vite + Tailwindcss v3 project. I need to solve this problem, because i am working only from my ipad. Please someone help me :(

Oh cool, that there is also somebody else running into that issue. To the current date (10 months ago since I wrote that email) I received no response from the play.js Team.

Fwiw, I see the same problem. I’m using a project that was created today from a current-version template on codesandbox.io (standard React template on that platform).

Incidentally, I have trouble running that project in codesandbox in Safari as well. It shows strange behavior where the preview panel keeps reloading every second or so, in between error messages that say “createRoot( … ): Target container is not a DOM element.”

I have no clue whether these issues are related, just thought I should mention them both.
