Using of native BigInt is a breaking change

[DeRain]

Introduction of native BigInt could lead to errors on environments that doesn't support BigInt.

Currently, a lot of browsers with older versions does not support BigInt, React Native does not support big int. All applications include address-encoder dependency should use polyfills.

Possible solutions:

• Explicitly mention the dependency in documentation and suggest client use polyfills
• Create major release with BigInt introduction, but remove in minor.
• Use https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/jsbi

iOS 13 Safari does not support BigInt and will give an error: Can't find variable: BigInt. This will give an error on lower versions of the browser.

Is there any way I can fix this error quickly?

You could try and use BigInt polyfil which is part of core-js library - https://github.com/zloirock/core-js#numberrange
