Error with react-native-compat + Expo Go crashes on iOS when trying to create a Web3Wallet instance

[Patryqss]

Description

I'm trying to use a Web3Wallet library in my app. I followed the documentation presented here and here and I have two issues:

First, the import of @walletconnect/react-native-compat throws an error: react-native-compat: Application module is not available
While searching for similar problems, I only found one example but it was not solved

Second, if I try to run the app on iOS Simulator or an iPhone, running Web3Wallet.init (clicking on the button in the Reproducer example) crashes my Expo Go app without even throwing a single log. It may be somehow connected to the first issue but I'm not sure since it works fine on an Android device

Steps to reproduce

Follow the Readme file in the Reproducer link
