Steps to Reproduce

on ios, fails on build
on android fails on write to realm
both are solved when I remove the encryptionKey

Code Sample

const string = 'N60LgDmG4CuwC9Gb/qdgBvjR0bfRjN4NzPfRwmFj960//+EDlTSGpYwA1V83XDepAT+Dv/wFZL1cqvuIAZjbzw=='
const encryptionKey = base64js.toByteArray(string)

const standardObjectSchema = {
  path: 'standardObject.realm',
  schema: [standardObject, locationObject],
  schemaVersion: 0,
  encryptionKey
}

export const newStandardObject = new Realm(standardObjectSchema)

[kenkotch]

just made a new proj w/ realm. same issue: https://github.com/kenkotch/realmEncryptionTest

[kenkotch]

I handled the issue, though I would still like to know why the solution works.
Instead of adding the encryptionKey directly in standardObjectSchema, when I mount my first component where I import newStandardObject in componentDidMount, I add:
newStandardObject.encryptionKey = base64js.toByteArray(string)
nope. im wrong. that does not work. still getting the same error

Could this be related to realm/realm-core#3267?

[kenkotch]

It may be. That project is long gone so I'm not actively looking into anymore
