Error processing the utf-8 encoding, decoder returned ‘Property 'TextDecoder' doesn't exist

Hey Ably,

I've been facing an issue with implementing the vcdiff-decoder library within a React Native project.

Ably: RealtimeChannel.onMessage(): [ErrorInfo: Error processing the utf-8 encoding, decoder returned ‘Property 'TextDecoder' doesn't exist’; statusCode=400; code=40013]

I have finally fixed it by importing text-encoding-polyfill at the very root of the app.

I think you should add in the documentation this specific React Native installation.

Hi @anthlasserre — thanks for raising this issue; we'll investigate and decide the best way to implement support for React Native.
