Azure Static Web App: “Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported”

TL;DR You need the latest copy of react scripts installed to avoid the error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported.

The Azure Static Web Apps are great for quickly creating systems for prototyping or testing ideas and the documentation is pretty good too.

However they have a few problems, not least of which is that out of the box if you try and build the React starter app you’ll get the error message:

Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

Fortunately the fix is simple enough, thank you Stack Overflow, just update the create react app scripts.

npm i react-scripts@latest

Then build it again

npm run build

And the issue will go away

TL;CR You need the latest copy of react scripts installed to avoid the error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported.
