My guess is you probably have a package that is meant for web. You could polyfill it, but I wouldn't do that. Look at what packages you've installed recently or using. You might have to configure a driver for storage using async storage or something.

You want to upgrade React Native additionally. You won't get any support here until you get up to at least RN69 - https://github.com/reactwg/react-native-releases#which-versions-are-currently-supported

Thanks for sharing thsi @iBotPeaches
I'm going to close this as 0.66 is not currently supported.
