Getting crypto not found error in React Native Expo

I keep getting this error below

whenever I try to run my React Native Expo application in Xcode.
I don’t seem to know why. It however works when I run npm run ios on my vscode

I have tried regenerating the pod file, removing hermes from the pod file definition but still does not work on Xcode.

Here is my React Native Expo Component

import * as crypto from 'crypto';
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { View, Text, Image, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';
import * as Device from 'expo-device';
import { useVerifyDeviceMutation } from './verifyDeviceQuery.generated';

type DeviceVerificationPayload = {
    deviceVariantIdentifier: string;
    deviceOsVersion: string;
};

const encrypt = (payload: DeviceVerificationPayload) => {
    const algorithm = ‘aes-256-cbc’;
    const encryptionAlgoKey = ‘Key’;
    const encryptionKey = base64ToUtf8(encryptionAlgoKey);
    const key = CryptoJS.SHA256(encryptionKey);
    const iv = CryptoJS.lib.WordArray.create(key.words.slice(0, 4));
    const stringifiedPayload = JSON.stringify(payload);
    const cipher = crypto.createCipheriv(algorithm, key, iv); 
    let encrypted = cipher.update(stringifiedPayload, 'utf8', 'hex'); 
    encrypted += cipher.final('hex'); return encrypted;
    return encrypted;
};

export default function HomeScreen() {
    const deviceVerificationGuid = 'deviceVerificationGuid';
    const [isVerifying, setIsVerifying] = useState<boolean>(true);
    const [deviceVerificationFailure, setDeviceVerificationFailure] = useState<boolean>(false);

    const [verifyDevice, { loading }] = useVerifyDeviceMutation({
        onCompleted: () => {
            setIsVerifying(false);
        },
        onError: (data) => {
            setIsVerifying(false);
            setDeviceVerificationFailure(true);
        }
    });

    useEffect(() => {
            const deviceVariantIdentifier = Device.modelName || '';
            const deviceOsVersion = Device.osVersion || '';
            const signature = encrypt({
                deviceVariantIdentifier,
                deviceOsVersion
            });

            verifyDevice({
                variables: {
                    input: {
                        deviceVariantIdentifier,
                        deviceOsVersion,
                        signature,
                        deviceVerificationGuid
                    }
                }
            });
    }, [deviceVerificationGuid, verifyDevice]);

    if (!deviceVerificationGuid) {
        return (
            <View style={styles.container}>
                <Image source={require('./assets/loadicon.gif')} style={styles.image} />
            </View>
        );
    }

    return (
        <View style={styles.container}>
          User Interface Logic
        </View>
    );
}

The above works whenever I run npm run ios but specifically fails when I run it on Xcode.
Not really sure why this is happening
